Covered in Ice


This morning, I woke to the sounds of freezing rain hitting my window. Then I walked out into the freezing rain, wadded in curbside puddles and climbed over mountains of piled snow with an inch thick layers of ice over everything. I walked about a block or so and thought, “Nope… in need rain boots”. So I slipped back up to the slippery top of my block and walked back up the 4 floors to my apartment and changed my normal boots for a pair of waterproof rain boots to take on the rugged terrain. Then headed back out onto the sheet of ice that was my sidewalk. All the while, thinking…. I wish I were in my warm bed. But alas, I made it to work and made it back home after work.

I bested you ice! I walked all over you today and you did not affect me… ­victory!

… Although because of your low temperatures and constant precipitation, I’m now sick….

You win ice…. You win.
