Winter's Ugly Side

For those of you that don't get snow and might think it's always white and Christmas card perfect I just wanted to let you know that's not the case! We're going through a thaw this week with temps in the 40s and predicted for the 50s tomorrow. That means the snow is melting and leaving behind the sand that's put on the road to keep the roads safe for driving. Everywhere you go you see these ugly snowbanks. I don't mind it at the end of March when I know that spring might really be around the corner. But this time of year it's just plain ugly and I'm hoping for a return to the cold and a few more inches of snow to cover it up again.
