Sky salt

So it's snowing at last, in that powdery little way it does up here.  You get little sand-devils of snow moving down the street, it's very dry.  I'd be delighted, except I've been doing some work outside recently, where you remember the corollary of "It is snowing" is "It is cold" (this is the polite, anatomically unspecific, blasphemy free version) - minus twenty without factoring some serious windchill.  I did have one zen moment amidst the chill, when a perfect, perfect, six armed snowflake landed flat on my screen, was back lit for a second, then contracted into a tiny droplet.
