The Other Shoe

the_goren_showSince the last cold snap, it has been ungodly unseasonal outside. There have been a few cool or snowy days, but nothing like usually happens during February. Call me a pessimist but I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, I've lived one too many years in this city by the mountains to be lulled into putting away my snow brush and heavy winter overcoats and shoes by anything less than green leaves and the calandar showing mid-June.
Tonight, the other shoe dropped, as did an inch or so of slushy snow. It's the sort of snow that brings no joy to anyone as it mostly melts when it hits the ground, turning into icy slush that makes driving or even walking a life threatening activity. Sanding trucks and plows are out on the streets and I guided the car through the streets in second gear to keep from slip-sliding into intersections.
The snow remains, mute and unchangeable.
