My other Five Senses of Winter posts, are here : SIGHT and TOUCH The crunch of boots on snow: A shovel scraping across a white layer of fluff: And if you close your eyes and listen carefully ... ...you'll notice an absence of sound. As if the snow has muted it, doused it, placed a blanket over it and sent it to the land of nod. Unless the wind has taken hold, then you'll hear the woosh and howl ! BRRR!
