February Fluff

This is a short piece about the mild winter, snow wise we have had this year.

Driving back from Waynesboro, Pa. early Wednesday evening

a light snow began to fall, ever so beautiful with a decidedly

biting briskness in the damp air. The further I drove the more snow

seemed to fall without significant accumulation. Montgomery County

loomed dark and dank in my drive; more wind, more snow, less fun.

By the time I got to the Rockville area I could hardly see the road

or traffic in front of me. Finally on Rockville Pike it just about completely

stopped. What appeared at first to be a developing major storm

turns out to be a February fluffy fizzle. No more than tiny white drops

all over my windshield. I am weary, blessed and filled to overflowing

with thanksgiving.
