The Winter Terrorists have been happy campers of late,
with one snowstorm after another.
We have been through the list of names through the letter R, next comes S.
The residents, not so happy.
Trees down, power lines down, power out.
Coastal homes flooded, some of them obliterated, evacuations.

We may get a few days to breathe before the East Coast
has another storm.
So it's cold enough for the snow and the snowmelt to
freeze overnight into black ice;
enough above freezing in the daytime to melt snow and ice a bit at a time.
Yesterday THE SUN CAME OUT for a few minutes before setting,
the rest of the day there were these roiling boiling grey-blue clouds
that gave no rain or snow but swept rapidly overhead.
