Exceeding Expectations © Molly Lin Dutina 21-2-9 As forecast the snow fell in the night surpassing the expectations of excited meteorologists There are no rough edges on our world this morn only smooth brush strokes from the palate of Jack Frost he was heavy handed with his snow flat surfaces are now domed the squirrel baffle on the suet post resembles the Pope’s miter cap the dog labors to walk at all Finally we let her off leash and she ran in laps like a maniac leaving few traces of her joyful gallop when we got the bird feeder filled the chirpers seemed delighted all other foods were buried Soon leaf blowers, shovelers, plow trucks snow blowers all joined the chorus of removal It will be days before the entire pavement is seen again unless some winter exceeds Expectations once again!

This is delightful, Molly. I love the look of fresh-fallen snow and your words and photos capture the mood perfectly. As for forecasters–in my area the winter snowfall has been significantly below the forecasted amount, though we have had our share of sleet and freezing rain.

Ours said there was a pocket of warm air so our last 8-12 inch forecast had mostly sleet. Many dissatisfied customers in this area. We rarely get that much snow. In fact, we haven’t had much snow the last 5 years!
