Snow
For our town.
Quote:SNOW - by C.K. Williams
All night, snow, then, near dawn, freezing rain, so that by morn-
ing the whole city glistens
in a glaze of high-pitched, meticulously polished brilliance, every-
thing rounded off,
the cars submerged nearly to their windows in the unbroken drifts
lining the narrow alleys,
the buildings rising from the trunklike integuments the wind has
molded against them.
Underlit clouds, blurred, violet bars, the rearguard of the storm,
still hang in the east,
immobile over the flat river basin of the Delaware; beyond them,
nothing, the washed sky,
one vivid wisp of pale smoke rising waveringly but emphatically
into the brilliant ether.
No one is out yet but Catherine, who closes the door behind her
and starts up the street.

GARRISON KEILLOR. He wrote about this today in his Daily Almanac and this was the daily poem.

RE: Snow
Ok, it's 1 in the morning. According to radar it looks like it's in the city. I live just north of the UofM campus. I'm getting very light mix of ice pellet/flurries.
