I left work early today - having gotten there early as well - and drove home. The roads were clear and there was snow only in the shade, at least down at nothing in elevation or nearly so, which is where I was. The sun was bright gold and shone off everything, most especially the water on the roads. Blinding-bright. The clouds were high and shades of cream and taupe that belong to sunset, not mid-afternoon which it was.
You would not know it now. The field out back of our house is still snow-covered, dry grass poking up through it everywhere - it's not blanketed - but still more white than not-white. It looks a bit like the best of the frosted wheat pieces always did when I was a kid, really....
And the fog has come in. When I got home it was clear, if cloudy, and very pretty. Now it is pretty but the fog is so thick that I can't even see the trees at the far edge of the field. The ones at the nearer edge I can see but they are significantly softened by the fog. It's dimming - the sun is not down but it is heading that direction - and that surely contributes since the pasture is east of the house, but still....
Also, my apologies to everyone who finds my nattering on about what is miniscule (to them) amounts of snow boring. Feel free to scroll on to the next entry. Here, any snow is at least interesting and unusual, and I love the stuff. It is also cause for worry with drivers, because of the conditions of the area. I don't care if the same amount of snow isn't even worth noticing somewhere else; we aren't somewhere else, we're here.
And we have snow. And I am going to enjoy babbling about it and enjoy or not enjoy driving in it depending, and if that really, really upsets you...well, sorry. I'm sure it will stop soon because snow here does not last.
