Let It Snow

It looks like this might be our first snowy week here in DC this winter. Scattered snow showers are forecast today. With snow - just snow - tomorrow. Wintry mix on Wednesday and snow showers again on Thursday. This will be interesting. To see if and how the DC snowfall brings things to a standstill as predicted.

Right now it's chilly but cloudy. The type of clouds that actually seem to keep things a bit snuglier and milder than they would otherwise be. They are the low, flat clouds.
The ones that reflect the city lights back down so that it seems brighter at night than it should be. Even at 3:00 AM if you happen to open your eyes a bit. And then you think it's late. And that you might have missed your alarm going off. So you check the time. And then your mind's engaged. And you know it's no use even trying to go back to sleep because you won't. But you try anyway. And you're right. It's no use. Those kind of clouds!

It's going to be a long day. I hate those kind of clouds.
