a winter wonderland

the real 
wonder
 is 
how the heck
 did it get
 to
 50+ degrees
 for
 the stupid bowl, er, super bowl 
in
 february
 which
 truly
 is
 the 
snowiest month of the year

 january
 is
 usually 
statistically
 too cold
 for it to snow 
yet
 it did
 several times

 there was also bone chilling cold
 between
 the flakes falling

 then
 super bowl sunday
 approaches
 temps
 begin 
to
 rise

 records are broken 
along
 with hearts 
it was a wicked bad game 
i opined
 the meadowlands 
brought
 the mannings 
a curse
 this past season

 never one
 to be a sore loser
 i wish
 seattle
 the best 

getting back to the weather 
monday
 brought 
the east coast
 the first 
of
 three storms
the second
 hit
 on
 tuesday night

 i suspect
 they will rise in ferocity
 as
they blanket us
in
 more 
white 

i took this shot
 at the tail end 
of
 the storm 
monday
 on my way home 

it was sort of pretty 
if
you had on good boots 

 i did
