New Fallen Snow

Have you heard the expression, “the hush of new fallen snow?”  I always forget about it until a morning like today.  When I walked out the door this morning, all was peaceful.  I know that snow acts as a sound absorber, and so the little sounds get sucked up, and you’re left with silence, but knowing the science behind it doesn’t make it any less wonderful.  Sometime after a big snowfall, or even better during a big snowfall, go outside at like 5 am before the cars and bustle of the world have a chance to spoil it, and listen to the silence.  We experience true silence so rarely, you might really enjoy it!
