Big Snow's Going, But What's Next?

With help from neighbors Harry and Tim, along with temperatures and time, the May place is recovering from the snow that covered up Connecticut about a week ago. Not that it's even nearly all gone. In some places, we've dug tunnels that could have been dug by very large moles. These lead here, there and almost everywhere we need to go. As long as we stay on the curved and narrow. One path leads from the driveway to the front door, and another runs past the kitchen door.

Nobody around here is getting too comfortable. Last night, the snow gods dusted us up, whitening previously cleared surfaces as we slept.

It's hard to imagine another Big One like the last one, but in a winter like this, amid myriad examples of out-of-whack weather fueled by global warming, anything is possible. In fact, more snow is forecast for the weekend. Still, these snows, one after another, can't go on forever. Or can they? 

Meanwhile, I take heart in signs large and small, signs hinting that relief is in sight. Including this morning's surprise "snowbow" that showed up on the Hoosier cabinet, created by sunlight shining through glass.

Let's face it; as a response to climate change, putting faith in colors on a cabinet certainly beats anything our government's doing.
