Cold longing.

[hannah]

It snowed today, and not enough. A dusting, less than half an inch, beautiful to watch come down while drinking smokey tea but not enough to last. I know the obstacles snow creates when it sticks around. I'm still ready to encounter them again. It's getting on through the year and it's been a few days of cold, and just a couple days of snow. There's been no settling into winter.

Maybe I just need to take a vacation to the midwest or upstate sometime. Or even just back to Pittsburgh for a couple of weeks. Really get it out of my system for a while.

I will be glad to ship you all the snow you could want from here in the Twin Cities.

There's almost three feet of it in my backyard right now. I'll pitch in from Canada.

I'll take every inch you've got, so long as it doesn't all arrive at once.

All that you can spare would be nice.

I can't complain of the same because we have twice now gotten enough snow to stick around for several days, but we haven't gotten a real big snow for some years now.

I know how much of an inconvenience snow can be, and I also know how nice it is to have around. Not just for the beauty of the harsh, uncaring world: also for it being able to snow at all.
