This is what I woke to up this morning. At long last, the snow has arrived, covering everything in sight with a fluffy blanket of white. I’ll let Ogden Nash take it from here:
Winter is the king of showmen,
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over the lakes.
Smooth and clean and frost white
The world looks good enough to bite.
That’s the season to be young,
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Snow is snowy when it’s snowing
Snow is snowy when it’s snowing
I’m sorry it’s slushy when it’s going.
I envy your snow! We have none here in Albuquerque, alas. I grew up in the NE though, and agree that slushy, dirty melting snow is a drag.
