The Perks of Snow

Now that we've been living in snow for a few months, I've discovered a few perks (aside from the obvious ones such as sledding and daily excuses to drink hot chocolate)  that make life sweeter in the winter...

• Beautification.  Even the trashiest neighbor's yard looks nice hidden under a few feet of snow. 

• More parking spaces.  Snow hides the lines of where cars are to legally park, thus allowing us to park pretty much anywhere. 

• Extra freezer space.  No need to purchase an additional freezer - my cooler out on the deck works great!

• Bad hair days eliminated.  Having a bad hair day?  Simply wear a hat.  It's fashionable (in Alaska anyway), it's warm, and it hides your bad hair!
