Be grateful for the white stuff. Here, it's just invisible,
transparent, coating of everything -- kind of like trying to walk around
on a piece of glass that's been well-oiled.
Don't worry, Julie. We're due for ice pellets (no kidding) falling from
the sky tomorrow, with freezing rain after that. Sheets of glassy ice
are the default mode here in the winter. The recent snow has been a change.
As Kant writes in his diary, the pleasure derived from our experience of
snow comes (in part) from the tension between our feelings of inadequacy
and our exaltation.
