No No Makitstop Makitstop No No Auugghhh

It's snowing, here in Mid-Atlantic Sprawl.
Again.
The drifts from last week's blizzards have the traffic at a crawl.
And then?
Schools close, mass transit folds, but we'll be told to brave the squall.

If this were Buffalo, one would not mind;
For there
Winter, though harsh, is sober, and predictably inclined.
We bear
The "flakes of wrath". If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Yes, Mr. Shelley. Yes it can. Yes.

Auugghhhh!

  1. We could use some of your 'flakes of wrath'! ha! We've hardly had any snow this winter which I've missed terribly!

    It's so much prettier outside when a blanket of white covers dead bushes and leafless trees (plus the dead plants that didn't get cleaned up in the fall).

    Hugs and Stay Warm!

  2. How d'you like it now? Spring--real spring!

    Here's hoping this year won't be like last year, when we had Early Spring, Late Spring, Early Spring, Early Spring, and an entire summer's worth of heat packed into August. Please, please, let the weirdness of the New Normal go away.
