Snow Day in Virginia Beach

Jan 4

Have you ever noticed that there seems to be no sound at all in the world when the snow is falling? It's magical. While snow isn't exactly rare in Virginia Beach, it's not something we get a lot of. Usually once or twice each winter we get enough snowfall to shut the city down for a couple of days. Our region isn't equipped with plows and salt trucks like more snow prone areas, so it takes a while for the roads to be cleared. I think it's a perfect excuse to hunker down at home with a cup of hot tea and a good book and just savor the quiet. We are lucky enough to have a house with a backside filled will south facing windows that offer an incredible view of the wetlands beyond on our yard. From my sunroom window, I could imagine I was snowed in at a beautiful cabin with a pot of soup simmering on the stove and a loaf of bread in the oven. The only thing missing is the wood burning stove.
