weather

is the big news.

Snow, ice, icicles, bitter cold, subzero winds, freakish warmth with rain and hail, floods, freezing rain, slush, ice, wind, and more snow. It's cold enough.

It's cold enough to chill my teeth and bones. To regret going without gloves. To wish for a face mask or helmet. That cold.

I like to snowshoe around my house and rake snow from the roofs. I like to clear my driveway of snow and ice. I like to skate on icy ponds and climb snowy hills on sunny mornings.
