It is snowing again. The weather bureau has been amazingly accurate with its forecasts during this excessive winter. So today I am both annoyed and gratified. The prediction was for a dusting, or at most half-inch. Snow started at noon and so far, four hours later, I have shoveled four inches of snow off the drives, and it is still coming down. I am annoyed because it is piling more snow on our already too deep snow piles, and I am gratified to know that the science of meteorology is still imperfect.
I know we have all been wishing for an end to the stuff; but absent that possibility, how about a little variety? You know, colored snow in pink, or blue, or even green to lend an aura of Springiness to the landscape.
Being human, we'd soon tire of that, too.
Stay safe, and stay warm!

Just some color...ANYTHING but white would be welcome.
Just looking at the photo I thought you had colored in the snow like a weather map: green=rain; pink=1-3 inches of snow etc.
Lin, that whole yard is white. Help!
Grace, yeah. No. I just smeared in some colors, not very artistically, I fear. But it illustrates the level of enthusiasm I have for white right now.
You should have come to visit us. Dreary and gray, but no snow.
Vee, a visit there would be marvelous, but we would have to get there.
Pink is my least favorite color. It makes me nervous. An entire pink landscape for months would definitely change my opinion of winter.
Sharkey, pink would not be my preference for snow color. Spring green, perhaps. Or quite likely the Lord got it right when He made it white. It's just that I'm weary right now.
