This might be nuts. But there are few things I find more beautiful than the night sky in a city during or right after a snowstorm. It's always this unnaturally bright purple, probably from all the artificial light reflecting off both the clouds above and the snow below.

I think I like it even more than the magic of the snowfall itself. And only a bit less than the droning of snow numbers on the news radio station.

Both of which are miles better than shoveling the sidewalk and brushing off the car, of course.

the first time I realized the city sky was pink/purple at night was in elementary school (maybe 7th grade). I was staying at Dov's house and I looked out the window and saw the city. I'd never really noticed from within the city, but out in the burbs, you could really see it stretching out all over the place. I thought something horrible was happening until Dov told me it was normal.
