There’s no snow in Miami or Tripoli, Sydney or Calcutta. But in Novosibirsk, West Siberia, they have enough. Does snow change our minds and moods, culture and horizons? Or the monsoon? Or living in a sand desert? No matter, which weather occurs to our souls???

We still have no snow! Happy new year

Weathering our souls–I really got that point as I studied these breath-taking photos of extreme opposites of weather conditions. Weathered souls work sort of like weathered shingling on a house–they sort of overlap and curve and tighten to carry us through storms and calms and all in-between.
hi granbee, thank you for your elaborated comment:

I prefer Novosibirsk. The desert is a too warm & boring place for me…
Hi
which is a tradition carried on in the area
New south Weals which is the start were Sydney is located does have snow .. the snow fall in the Blue Mountains .. we have White Christmas in July
kangaroos in snow? thanks for information!
Good contrast. Snow makes us calm and brings beautiful minds.
“. . . which weather occurs to our souls???”
provocative question, lots to mull… The photos are great.
Beautiful question. I love the similarities in the pics. One person’s snow seems to be another’s sand.
In our area, snowfall cleans the dirty air trapped in the valleys (called “inversion” here) and gives a bright clean crisp feeling. I live in an area with all four seasons. WInter would not be the same for me without snow.
snow in the mountains, but no snow before my house
thats ok
No snow in London yet but I am hopeful!
I think somewhere in between…a tropical isle…the beach…a margarita…warm sun…breezes…
aaahhh…that’s better…
Snow always looks lovely from a distance… but up close not always.
