Snow that i like

Snow is not something i like, as a rule,
but,,,
 Last night a few, 
small white flakes,
brightened the night sky.
Barely wetting the pavement, 
not making it slick
or dangerous.
They were pretty.
Not hassles of driving through slush, 
nor finding the black soot,
 covering it all after a few hours.
This is the snow that i can deal with.
The other stuff,
the one that sticks 
and accumulates
into a putrid mass of difficulty?
It is a four letter word to me.

I understand completely....just having it fall with grace, and not stick and cause any traffic problems...what a blessing! :-)

The other stuff, the one that sticks - a four letter word. This is like a puzzle - what four letter word works here? Oh, "snow"!
The other side of your brain is not only VERY good at drawing pictures through words, but at creating puzzles, too!

To me it's all gorgeous
as long as we can stay off the roads. We've a bit of a snow storm here today and night. I think school will be cancelled. And so now, the chicken cooks, the lights are dim, and the wind blows. I feel happy and warm.

I'm glad you got to enjoy some:)
