It's snowing outside

I love this time of year when the snow falls gently, when the light is muted by the clouds and the low-lying sun. A few moments ago, the new snow had this yellow, sodium vapor light yellow, sliding over it, but, since somewhere west of here, the horizon is eating the sun, it's now a gunmetal blue.

God, I enjoy snow.

When I was watching Flight of the Pheonix last week, there were many scenes of the wind snaking over the dunes, pulling streams along with it, and it reminded me of the snow drifts. It'll make me happy today, though, if the wind doesn't kick up since I'm supposed to hit the road tomorrow.

The sun's still drifting lower, as is the snow, and the streets are quiet. That's good. I'm not big on driving when there's a lot of nuts out on the road and there's a heavy coating of snow.

Peace to everyone on this peacefully snowy day.
