It is a quiet morn­ing even though so many peo­ple are on the street.
Snow seems to quiet things even as it falls lightly on a spring day. The flakes are more like clumps some­times falling in a direct line to the pave­ment and the peo­ple walk­ing past my view wear every­thing from watch caps and anoraks and fleece jack­ets to car­ry­ing brightly col­ored umbrel­las. The snow has it’s many iter­a­tions, swirling with the wind in con­fused direc­tion and then that angle that lands the flakes on your eye­lids no mat­ter what you do.

There are birds tweet­ing, con­fused in this crazy March that promises to bring spring.

Still the sounds are muf­fled by the wet snow and we can embrace the rhythm of it’s falling. Qui­etly sip­ping cof­fee from behind the steamed panes.

I slept through our most recent snow­fall. So dis­ap­pointed to miss the falling flakes, but woke to a fresh white blan­ket cov­er­ing our lit­tle car­riage path.

I was lucky enough to see this video from my @webchickbot. She was expe­ri­enc­ing snow at the same time.

I just keep play­ing this over and over.

storm 021010

A white day full of muf­fled sounds. Almost every­thing a whisper.

The snow is still falling and the sky is the same strange yel­low as last night. Per­fect sym­me­try 12 hours later. It has been a night and day of quiet obser­va­tion. An occa­sional muf­fled voice heard with the crunch of boots on newly fallen snow. It is a joy to be so quiet on the inside too.

Still­ness.

snow right now!

The sky is a weird yel­low and the snow has already cov­ered the cards and side­walks. It’s 9pm. We have less than an inch. I’m plan­ning on adding a num­ber of wid­gets here on the blog tonight.

courtyard

This is what it looked like in our court­yard yes­ter­day. Over night the wind was blow­ing so hard that all the win­dows were cov­ered in snow and we couldn’t see out­side. I found this lit­tle gap and shot the neigh­bors doing some shov­el­ing. Of course after they had spent an hour doing this the snow removal firm showed up and plowed. Silly people.

We usu­ally are parked out there. But with the help of our pals David and E we put our car in a garage for fri­day, stur­day, and Sun­day. We’ll shovel a bit and get it back in place. Thing is we are expect­ing snow again on tues­day and wednesday.

This is our sec­ond huge storm since mov­ing downtown.

courtyard : Una instalación con la nieve !!

This is a photo of the first big snow this year. It was also the first snow at our new res­i­dence. This is the view from our bal­cony as neigh­bor­hood fel­lows tried to clear the pavers for cars to make it out. That’s our VW Jetta under about 10 inches of snow.

I found the geom­e­try amusing.

My friend jacob albablank com­mented on Flickr That it was a snow installation.

I need to have a cou­ple friends at the ready next time to make a piece. A draw­ing with the snow — an installation.
