Can it be this cold and still snow so much?

If you live in Madison WI, it definitely can! The temperature outside is barely above 0 degrees fahrenheit (which is about -15 celcius), and it has snowed all day. The estimated accumulation is about 5-6 inches. That is a lot of snow for the day being this cold.

Snow is so beautiful when viewed from the confort of the warm indoors while sipping a heart-warming hot cocoa. Here is how beautiful snow on the ground can look.

I also love to watch the snow falling, and can spend many hours just looking out the window watching the individual flakes fall and become one with the snow cover. It is quite difficult to capture in words how falling snow can keep me engaged for such a long time.

However, though falling snow is great from the comfort of the warm indoors, and can even be fun to play in, it is definitely not fun to drive to and from work to in. Thus, my emotional love-hate relationship with snow continues.
