In fact, when it snowed the very next day I was a little too excited. I opened all the blinds in my house and allowed myself to be surrounded with the fluffy, bright matter that covered all the streets and cars outside, commenting quite too often about what &#8220;beautiful weather&#8221; we were having that day. It must have been only kindness that forced my family and neighbors to smile in response\u00a0while they shoveled piles of unwanted snow off\u00a0their driveway.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5427\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.comat  Centennial Park Ellicott city\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com7_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5426\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.comat  Centennial Park Ellicott city\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com6_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5425 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.comat  Centennial Park Ellicott city\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com5_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5424 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com4_.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.comat  Centennial Park Ellicott city\" width=\"1200\" height=\"910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com4_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com4_-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com4_-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com4_-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5429 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.comat  Centennial Park Ellicott city\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Frozen-Lake-Nature-by-Armenyl.com9_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>My sentiments at the park were no different.
