Snow Much Fun!

Out of the bosom of the Air,

Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,

Over the woodlands brown and bare,

Over the harvest-fields forsaken,

Silent, and soft, and slow

Descends the snow.

—An excerpt from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem "Snow-flakes"

While wishful thoughts of warmer weather may tempt your mind, take a moment to revel in the frosty wonder that has enveloped our city. Here are a few suggestions for exploring and celebrating the beauty of snow.

Happy snow days!
