Just off a good sized storm over the holiday weekend I was slightly surprised to see that it was snowing again this morning. I don’t know why I was surprised, I live in New Hampshire, it happens every year. Maybe because I had heard nothing about the possibility of snow, I mean I don’t catch the weather forecast on a regular basis but, when things like this happen there will generally be some talk amongst the natives about it.
So I get the kids on the bus and continue with my morning, making breakfast, answering emails, and getting into work mode. After a while I wander over to the slider that looks out on to the deck and beyond into our pretty atractive view. As I gaze out on the beauty of the slowly falling snow, and the snow covered world, I can’t help but stare at my gas grill. Not longingly or depressed as if I wish I could throw a steak on it, but the way you would look at anything that has just reminded you of something.
A while back I commented on a Story at LondonderryNH.net regarding a picture that kept showing up, in stories related to snow. Funny, when I went to look for one of the stories using that picture I didn’t have to go too far, because a story about the storm from this past weekend has put it to use again. All of the links above go to a different story using the same picture, I commented on one of those stories saying that I was going to make it my mission to capture a picture that could replace the one mentioned above. Not because it’s a bad picture or because it doesn’t tell the story (which it does quite well) just because I was being playful. I didn’t really intend on making it my mission I was just trying to humorously note the popularity of the picture.
Anyway if you’ve visited any of the links above, or if you’re a regular reader of LondonderryNH.net then you know which image I am refering to and why looking at my snow covered gas grill reminded me of my comment. Well it being a particularly atractive snowy Londonderry morning, I couldn’t think of any good excuses to not make good on my mission.
I don’t think any of these do as good of a job at telling a story, so they won’t be suitable replacements, but they are pretty to look at. Besides, I don’t know if I’m really ready to read a story about snow without seeing that picture.
