But I figured it would be a good one to get out of the way with all the warm weather on the way, just in case any of you people are writing a snowy scene during the summer.

Thanks everyone for all the comments! Hope this new thesaurus is exactly what you needed.

Though many people may view a type of weather one way, there are always others who see it differently.

Where is the blizzard love? I live in the Chicagoland area and went through the Blizzard of 2011, and I guess I’m one of the weird ones who was energized by the storm! The silence, which creeps so many of you out, is comforting to me! I feel protected and safe when the snow blankets the area!

Watching the snow pile up against our sliding doors while my kids smiles got bigger and bigger as they begged to go out and play…shoveling out our driveway together—getting good exercise & working hard with my family toward a common goal, the camaraderie all the neighbors share as we look over and wave in between piles of shoveled snow…I absolutely look forward to a good blizzard! (I lived in Florida for a while and missed the snow terribly.)

Just thought I’d add a positive perspective. 🙂

So glad I’m not the one in that picture! Talk about stormy weather. YIKES!

Having been through a few blizzards, I want to add that I found the absence of sound creepy. All you can hear is wind; no birds, next to no traffic (or none at all), no people chatting in the street, maybe not even sirens, which is doubly creepy in a city where you usually hear sirens any time of day or night. I always got a strong sense of isolation in a blizzard.

I always think of the cutting cold, cutting into my senses, my clothes and my mind like a rain of knives.

And your warning is most necessary. The weather/mood cliches are too many by far.

(though a bit chilly) The things I most associate with blizzards are the eerie silence and the sense of isolation. That, and the purely delicious feeling of being inside of a warm house with a hot cup of chocolate. (I may live in the sunny south now, but I grew up in MD, and endured my share of snowstorms.)

Didn’t we have enough of them this winter?
