A Wet Heavy Snow
Snow fell during the night, a wet heavy snow. I thought about plowing threw the snow all the way up to the Trax station but I reconsidered and elected to drive the van to the station and train in from there. I did take a moment before I left and shoveled a path for Dianne and clean a little snow off her vehicle. I was in my power chair and the effort did not seem like work. It was fun playing “Joe Bulldozer.” I little later the usual by the time I got t0o the Delta Center, plows had been out for a good while and snow was piled up and slushed—As I was piloting along the side of the road there was more traffic then I was used to. I forgot about how the snow and slush will “fan tail” out from the cars as the rush past. The plows had pushed snow into the driveways making it stack pretty high, not a problem for today but tomorrow there might be a problem depending how much melt and freeze happens today and tonight. But then tomorrow ,unless more snow falls, the street should be clear and dry with the plows and chem-trucks working all day today. I should be OK, I might go out at lunch and make sure I have a drive way cleared out—but if it snows, and snow is forecast till tonight at 11:00.

A Patch of Old Snow
There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.
It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten --
If I ever read it.
Robert Frost
