Contemplating Snow on the First Day of March

The falling snow is lovely 
some place else!

I will dance in the snow 
like an old woman
finding her second childhood.

The snow flakes 
are as big and heavy as half-dollars 
moments before turning
into raindrops.

Schizophrenic clouds 
can't decide weather to drop snow
or cry rain.

warm wind
snow angels
fly away 

The first day of spring
seems as far away as you.

I saw the predictions for the mountains out there. 140 mile and hour winds and five inches of snow per hour. Wow

Happily, I live in a less volatile area. My brother lives in the foothills of the Cascade range and he always has feet of snow this time of year
