Five Things that Don't Suck, Calm Before the (Zillionth) Storm Edition

1. how bright the sun is
2. the way it makes the snow glisten
3. thinking that "glisten" should have been invented as a word just to describe sun on snow
4. knowing that it's actually meant to describe things that are shiny because they're wet
5. deliberately not thinking about the rain that's going to come and make this particular snow wet and then how that wet snow is going to freeze into a solid, New-England-shaped block of ice and horror
