.perhaps not.

The blizzard to end all blizzards did not actually come to fruition as most of us wanted it to. This might be because we've never experienced a real blizzard and ones imagination can do wonders especially induced by all the hype. It blew and froze as promised, and looked quite dreadful for about an hour, but then the snow flurry's slowed and eventually stopped leaving only frigid arctic air in its wake. It's that type of cold where the air is heavy with stillness and hurts just to breath. It conjures up memories of a March morning in Russia where the air was almost tangible with the weight of the cold. Or days walking to school in Logan when you would get to class and notice your hair was stiffly frozen because apparently you didn't dry it thoroughly. So although the storm didn't quite deliver it's promised doom, it was nice for just one night not to go anywhere, stay inside, and feel cozy.
