Weather

The temp is now 26 above. So our cold snap is over. Last night, I heard the hiss of car tires on a wet pavement, and the streets look wet this morning. It's a miserable day, overcast and gray. The air looks thick -- misty or foggy, but not in attractive way. Smoggy. The snow is dirty and lumpy. That's the best word I can come up for snow when it begins to melt.

It's not good weather for self reflection. The grayness gets into my mind. As I wrote the preceding, I remembered my light box and turned it on. I have not been using it much this winter, and that is not good. Though the crisp, bright days of the cold snap were good for lifting my mood.

Time to get back to writing, which cheers me up.
