snowy Tu B'shevat

Today (well from sunset onwards) is Tu B'Shevat and we should be about to head off to synagogue to do the Tu B'Shavat sader. This is based on the passover sader but it is customary to eat lots of frui, 12 different kinds (including the 7 fruits of Israel). Tu B'Shevat is full of kabbalistic meaning and is generaly a very postive event. It is sometimes said that Tu B'Shevat is the day when the trees wake up from their winter slumbers. Although given how snowny it is I don't think that they will be waking up. I also don't know if trying to travel to synagogue is a good idea as it is snowing quite hard. But that said the roads seem to be running quite well.
