A snow day mini-pause from Being Like Bella, Favorite World Press
In Thanks-Welcome at midnight
the snow started to fall,
and it didn’t stop falling
until it was one basset hound tall.
Snow swirled over houses
and frosted the trees,
where winter birds huddled
in twos and in threes.
Slightly over one basset hound of snow has fallen so far today in NYC (about 16 inches) and it’s dog-gone lovely!
If you’d like to see what individual snowflakes look like pre-pile-up, check out the stunning, high-resolution photography of scientist Nathan Myhrvold, former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft. It’s absolutely oh, wow!
