Finally

At last it snows. Its been days and days without sun. Rain and melt rain and melt. But now it is snowing and the beauty returns to the north coast. I drive home in the daylight with snow falling about me. I take the long way which is more off the beaten path, more country fields etc. It takes 10 minutes longer but this day is a treat.

I can totally understand the relief of snow after many days of gray rain, sleet, and melt. Something breathtaking. You've captured the image with your words.

Can you believe these temps? In Burlington this morning it was 56 degrees. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 19, which is much more normal. One year ago this week, we had nights of -17 or colder. I remember because I wrote them down. Sorry to hear about the snowshoeing (sp?).
