This morning I woke to a fresh blanket of snow. I crunch-crunch-crunched my way to the bus stop in the grey pre-dawn, watching the snow swirl down through the streetlights. When I got off the bus at work, there was very little snow on the ground although there was still a significant amount down-swirling.
We walked to lunch through the slush and puddles. The snow was coming down in almost-blizzardly splendour as we looked out the windows at lunch, but none was sticking to the wet ground.
I walked back through the rain to the bus stop after work. All traces of snow were gone, except damp tatters of dirty lace under the odd tree.
But when I got off the bus at home, I stepped into stiffening slush and some suspiciously thick puddles. There's still water dripping into the rain gutters, but the first few flakes fell through the streetlight about half-way up my street.
Now large flakes are swirling down again.
Weird.

That's fairly par for the course. Today, some parts of Vancouver were under thick snow, others icy slush, others, just ice. Some got colder as the day went on, others got warmer. It's all thawing now, (unless you're in northern Clark County, then it's still frozen). It's all par for the course when you have arctic air mixing with large land formations and strong bodies of water exerting their will on one another.
"Damp tatters of dirty lace" -- how very Dylan Thomas. Nice post.
I was admiring the language too.
And, I thought it was just me being the ever-adoring wife . . .
Gwen said more than "LOL" in a comment for the first time in three posts! I was afraid we were going to have to send her directly to jail, do not pass "GO", do not collect $200. LOL
Well, it snowed enough last night to essentially shut down a lot of town.
Very weird.
Town shutting down, you must feel like you're back in NC.
