Snow and more snow

sisyphus

Dig It

I've spent much of the day shoveling the same patch of snow over and over again. It reminds me of the myth of Sisyphus -- you know, that ancient Greek fellow who was condemned to roll a stone up a hill, only to have it roll back down again, over and over. The snow just keeps on falling in thick curtains, rendering every object obese and white. The only thing I like about it is the way it sparkles. I remember as a kid trying to find the diamonds in the snow.

Here's a short story I wrote (and won a contest with) about digging my car out of the snow:
