Beautiful description. I live in what is normally a beautiful place, southcentral Alaska, but this is what we locals call "break-up" and recognize as a separate season between winter and spring. It's below freezing at night but above during the day, for about a month (usually April but we're early this year with El Nino), so the heavy snowdrifts melt off slowly. I believe God planned it this way because if the snow melted off quickly we'd have major flooding every year. It's not very pretty to a tourist, who sees no green budding out, dirty snowdrifts along the roads, dog poop that was covered by snow showing itself, alongside the winter's collected garbage. And wherever there is no mud, there is dust. It could only be beautiful to someone who's been here all winter and sees only the lovely sun. And we deserve it.
