Say It Isn't Snow

Um...yeah…so it snowed last night. And not the slushy, melt-as- soon-as-it-touches-the-ground kind either like I thought it would be. But no. Because that would just be too much to hope for. No, this was the stick-around-for-as-long-as-I-damn-well-please kind of snow. The kind where it took me longer to scrape down and thaw out my car than it did to drive into work.

Oh sure, it’s pretty and all that. You know the scene – pristine white flakes encrusted onto the spindly branches of bare trees glistening in the sun. At least I’m sure they would glisten if there was sun. But no, it’s still clouded over. A sheet of thick white stuff obliterating the blue and another stupid white layer covering the green.

Sigh…it’s going to be another long winter, I can feel it in my bones.
