This past weekend we officially started counting down to when the warm days of spring will arrive. It’s feeling more and more like winter, though it is only 17 full days away. As of tomorrow morning, Boston will have officially received more snow in March than the entire month of December and it’s only the third of the month.

We’re definitely ready for some warmer weather around here—what we’ve lacked in the fluffy white department this year, we’ve made up for in days with single-digit temperatures. Even with all of this, we couldn’t imagine living in a place where it doesn’t ever snow. We feel lucky to experience the peaceful quietness that surrounds a city when it’s snowing or the joy it brings hitting a loved one with a perfectly round snowball.

Here are some of our favorite snowy shots to inspire you to savor these last lingering days of winter.
