Overnight wonder

As I went to bed quite early, I wasn't awake to watch the snow arrive. There were a few lightning flashes and cracks of thunder around the time I started to fall asleep, and an odd pellet-y sound, which must have been the snow falling. This morning there was enough to cover everything, but it rapidly melted off the street. A flimsy imitation of the east coast's burden. By a little after noon, it was almost gone, leaving that fresh coolness newly melted snow imparts to the atmosphere; lovely blue sky and cartoon puffy clouds sailing by. Happy chickens hopping about, safe from vice presidents and other fiends.
Went out for a low energy run and workout; couldn't finish the latter, had to walk most of the way home in cruelly sunny cold weather.
