It will be hard for folks in the great white North who get twice this amount in one storm, but with 14" total, this is the 7th snowiest winter ever recorded in my city. Today, there was a lot of melting. The evergreen tree that started the day looking like Winter Wonderland ended it with clumps of mush sliding off and plopping on the ground. On the roads, melt created rivers of icy clear water and a really messy gray slush that sprayed on to me when cars passed. However, I don't know how this works, but the undisturbed areas of snow were covered with the most sparkliest snow ever. Flat crystals of snow almost like sequins, or fish scales. The snow underneath was soft and powdery. I love walking through it. It feels like if you fell straight back, it would catch you like feathers.
