Backyard Snow

It started snowing at about 10:00 a.m. here in Lewes, Delaware. When I stepped out on the back porch at a bit past one to collect this minute of video, there was already about two inches on the ground. We're expecting a few more before this ends this evening.

It's pretty. There is nowhere we have to be today. We have enough food and firewood on hand.

I was trying to capture a sense of the peace that's possible in this situation and almost succeeded -- until the neighbor's air-pump kicked on.
