Snow, Snow, Go Away

Weird weather today: snow, then rain, then sleet, then snow, then rain again. And I don't think it ever dipped below freezing. It's wet and mushy all over the ground and the streets. I guess it was pretty to watch falling but it almost felt like the walls were closing in. I've really enjoyed seeing the grass, hearing the birds, playing outside in the sunshine, not worrying about slipping on ice, even not having to wear a coat. I know there is always a spell in February that is cruelly, deceptively warm. And it's over now.
