While it's true that we mostly live below the snow, every 10 years or so, we get a pretty good dump like this one from December 9 when we had 14 inches on the diving board. A neighbor posted this to her facebook page. It was a beautiful time, though we lost power for 24 hours, so we read by the fire and I worked with a phone-only (no broadband) connection to meetings for half a day.
Because it's so obscure, I should also mention that Below the Snow is an admittedly weak double entendre based on the ecological concept of subnivean zone, a space created at the interface of snowpack and earth, exploited by many small creatures as a safe and relatively cozy place to live during the snowy season. So, like our little hometown in the foothills, there is life and substantial activity where casual observers might assume there to be little.
