The things in my head go 'round and 'round

This is my life. You can't have it.

The sound of snow falling

Pennsylvania finally got a little bit of snow today.  Around 4 inches where we live.

It started as big fluffy flakes.  I was leaving the grocery store after doing my shopping, and saw this big flake fall in front of me.  And then another one as I was unloading the groceries into the bed of the truck.

By the time I got home it was coming down pretty good.  I took Cerebus out into the park behind our house so that she could romp, and I could listen.  Cerebus in not your typical LabraDane.  She doesn’t like water.  If it is raining, she will run up your back to get back inside.  But give her some snow, and watch out.  She gets all playful and wants to romp.

And I just wanted to listen the sound of snow falling.

Rain makes a different sounds when it falls, depending on the amount of rain falling.

Snow makes the same sound no matter how much is coming down.  And it isn’t only the muffling of sound that it causes.  It has its own unique sound that it makes when it falls.

And that is the best that I can explain it.  You have to experience it on your own.   You have to stand in the middle of a snow storm, and listen to the sound that snow makes as it falls.

Namaste.
