you should see the view from here
Somewhere between home and work this morning, the rain changed to snow; when I pulled into the parking lot, half the cars had their wipers up in the air like hopeful antennae. The sky cleared during the day and the snow was gone from the roads when I left the building; instead, everything was ice. The wind pushed at my face and pulled my hair as I broke crystal layers from my car.
The drive home was filled with achingly clear air, blue and purple shades pulled from the sky to wash the road. The area is rural and winter only serves to intensify the emptiness, all the trees gone to brown sticks, trunks lined with traces of white. The wind roared under my car, picked up snow from the fields and flung it across the road in powdery waves. Icicles broke off as I drove, clattering beneath the chassis.
Six in the evening, and there are still traces of light in the sky.
