It's the little things

Last night, I was supposed to go see Vanilla Pop play at the Bull O' The Woods.  They ended up canceling because we were supposed to get a big snowstorm.  Well, the giant snowstorm predicted didn't come exactly as planned, we did get snow.  About 3 inches in town, and it's still snowing.  Usually, by this time of the year, everyone is sick of the massive amounts of snow, and all the shoveling and plowing.  But not this year.  This is our first real snow of the winter.  This is the first time we've had to move our cars so they could plow the parking lot.  This is the first time the guy that  plows our parking lot has moved his tractor from its winter location at the front of our building. 
This was the first time I saw joy in the faces of those shoveling and sweeping.  3 inches of snow is not much for us, but it is a lot when you go so long without snow.
