Winter brings a stillness when the Earth is covered in folded snow. Winds speed over silent meadows, passing unimpeded by leaves and foliage. Silent yet forceful breaths of nature, fill the muted dawn. Barren trees reach into the sky like lifeless memories, and bleak thoughts of quiet stillness float in the thin air. A time to reflect, a time to remember, a time of repose.

Here in the Northeast we received our first present from Old Man Winter this week. A nor'easter hurled massive amounts of precipitation from the Atlantic Ocean on top of many states in our region. But just outside of West Chester PA, where I live, we came through pretty much unscathed. When I awoke Wednesday morning I peered through the window shades. Much to my surprise, the six inches of snow I expected had transformed into a light dusting. Driving into work I did find a few spots that has some snow left on the trees like this one at Grove United Methodist Church in West Chester. Hopefully winter will stay away for a few more weeks. Enjoy your weekend.
