Or perhaps an Ice-9 phase transition has occurred, and the snow

*really is* at a steady 70 degrees F. From now on, water will be

treated as a mineral with excellent structural properties. Skyscrapers

will be built of gleaming ice; highways will be surfaced in rugged

white zigzag snowpack. Kids will crunch barefoot through warm banks of

powder on the way to school, and kicks sparkling sprays at each other

in July.

Naked people will make snow angels. At night, the Zambonis play.

I know, it’s easy for me to say — I’m employed. Nevertheless.

(And by the time I repost this, you’re less bummed. Go, Zambonis.)

Will try to look you up on IM once I’ve hit my deadline…
