annnnd… that picture was taken in APRIL 2005.  yes folks, April.  it can be like that anytime from October-April, maybe even earlier or later.  i moved away from my hometown to get away from the winters there, but there is still something nostalgic that i miss about winters back home.

HOMETOWN WINTER.

Winter in Doylestown, Ohio:

• So much snow on the streets that you can’t tell where the street stops and the lawns begin.
• Snow days!
• Huge piles of snow on the sides of the roads and in parking lots.
• Everything is still open – banks, CVS, gas stations… all five businesses! lol, jk there’s like 9.
• The Christmas decorations the town hangs up every year, and the way the lights zigzag across the main street…
• Slip-sliding down the roads everywhere you go
• Kids sledding down the big hill in front of the high school & in yards everywhere
• The historic buildings around town, and how festive they look with all the snow on them!
• The Sweet Shoppe is closed
• Salt trucks and plow trucks cruising around 24/7.
• My little brother running his snow plowing business when he was like 10.  Started with shovels and a riding lawn mower, now he has a full blown plow on his truck, and goes around helping out wherever he can!
