Deep Snow = My Ideal Society

So for those of you not in the area, Baltimore had a gigantic snowfall over the weekend. It started on Friday and continued through most of Saturday. It was really thick and we ended up with over 24 inches total. It's definitely the deepest snowfall I've ever seen. The snow has really packed in cars and most of the streets aren't plowed that well, yet the streets are still plowed well enough to allow emergency vehicles to access most places. People walk on the streets to get where they need to go and they think carefully about what they need to get. I really like how this snow has drawn us all closer together and has also forced a lot to use alternate forms of transportation besides cars. If you want to get lunch or groceries, you have to go local and thus support your local businesses. It's given us a glimpse as to what society would be like without cars. Pretty beautiful.
