I would have to say its pretty easy to convince me of stories about tzaddikim (which is one of the reasons I’m so glad I have a down to earth husband who helps me realize the scams involving giving money to a place that promises that a tzaddik will daven for xyz if you donate hundreds of dollars). So yes, I think i do believe the story.
And I dont know about the rest of you, but when there is snow outside, whether its falling or sitting on the ground, I could sit by the window and just be amazed at this beautiful creation.
