Muffling

It's been snowing for the past three hours solid now. A good two inches of it so far. I love how snowfall muffles sounds. It's never as quiet anywhere as when it's snowing. U can feel the silence almost press on your eardrums.

I supose it's part of why I like skiing...the howling of the wind in your ears when you're swooshing down a slope and then the sudden, pressing, total silence when you halt midway a deserted snowy flank. Like a cocoon almost. Never seizes to impress me.

Hope the snow keeps up.
