My favorite thing about snow storms is the silence, the stillness and peacefulness of our surroundings.  When I was little, I loved waking up to find 8 inches of snow on the ground, falling overnight so silently and stealthily.  Now that I'm older and have to deal with shoveling and driving, instead of sledding and snow forts, it loses a little bit of its charm...but I can still appreciate its beauty.  I love this picture for capturing the charm of my neighborhood and how peaceful it seems on these wintery evenings.
