snow-mageddon
Usually the snow seems light and luminous, like a fresh start. But this snowstorm has a weird foreboding feeling attached to it, with all those early weather reports, and the long lines at the Food Lion, with only the last cart left for me. Back at home, the sky is gray and heavy and it feels like maybe it will just keep snowing. Like the snow might pile up on past our door frame, then the pipes will freeze, and the power and phone lines will snap in the wind.
I know in my heart of hearts that eventually it will stop. The sun will come out, cold and faraway at first, but not too far in the future it will be warm and wet and green as springtime. It’s amazing how many things I take for granted, like spring or a clear view of the sky.
But right now, looking out of the picture window, I can’t help but wonder: what if it just keeps snowing? What if the snow is a consequence, or a punishment, or just a plain new fact? What if it the sky stays white and blank and unblinking, sifting shimmery whiteness?
What would we do then?
On a lighter note: Will’s first try at skiing during our last snow.
