Who ever said that snow news is good news?

28mar2008: This has been a mild winter, and weather as recently as yesterday was clear and pleasant. I had, in my hubris, put the snow boots away in the upstairs closet.

So we had planned a day trip to Ithaca today, for a visit with Christy "Revenge and Contraband" Mag Uidhir. It started raining last night, and sometime overnight that turned to snow. Road trip cancelled.

The picture here is the view out our bedroom window today, after the plow trucks had been through. This Spring Break, like every year I've lived in Albany, we got an accumulation of snow. In all those previous years, the Spring Break whitening was the last of the season. With any luck, that pattern too will hold.

(Yes, embracing the bloginess of this news box means that most of the word count is spent yammering about the weather and traffic delays. On-line journals, it is often noted, are interesting when written by people living difficult, variegated lives. Tragedy makes for good blogging. Domesticity, not so much.)
