Ready for anything?

A snow dump on Wednesday was my first ever REAL snow experience.  I sat mesmerised for most of the morning watching snow fall.  Working from home with the heat pump set to 29 degrees, I was super glad this former Aucklander never lost power in the house.  Once the wonder of the snow finally sank in, It could move beyond the somewhat existentialist question of what is snow and why on earth do we get it, to the question how do we cope with the unexpected?
