The word "paralysis" has been used over and over to describe the blizzard. "Denver paralyzed by storm," "Blizzard leaves Denver paralyzed." True, people were halted in their tracks, some mid-commute, others mid-holiday travel, their day taking a most unwelcome turn. But for the residents of Capitol Hill -- like me -- the storm was a almost a blessing. Without distractions (driving, shopping, working) we were forced to find other ways to occupy our time. Even as the snow drifted down Wednesday morning, people walked down 13th Street, cap-a-pie in their warmest snow gear; dogs cavorted, diving into the deepest parts of the snow; business owners shoveled the sidewalk outside their storefronts, and skiers and snowboarders found the nearest slope to slide down. There was no paralysis here; many of us were more active than we would've been on a normal weekday.
