A Winter Without Snow

This winter has been bereft of snow, unless that is, you consider the snowpocalypse that we had in October to be snow. That storm only lasted a day or so and managed to keep the state out of power for weeks it seems. Nope, no real good snow has come to us this year and it kinda sucks. I miss going out in the snow to shoot the boughs and to see what animal had passed the way before I arrived in my anorak and snowshoes.

So, I decided to sit down with lightroom and re-edit/edit some photos from winter’s past that I have on my drive. The full set can be seen on jpgmag.com but these are the ones I like the most really…

Winter blahs here… Blahs without snow…

There's a winter storm with my name on it
And it's cutting up the coast
On the radar there's a ghost
Clear to the Carolinas
It feels like years since December
And it seems like more till spring
I swear I'll bear up under anything
That this one can dump on me
It's a white rage
It's a blank page

It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard

I've got candles on the counter
Water in the tub
Survival skills I know, but
Living I can't understand
The wind howls all night long
And the big plows thunder in the street
You can hear the snow turn to sleet
There goes the mailbox again
It's a white rage
It's a blank page
-Blizzard

It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard

And the flames sing in the dark
Some stupid love song bout a broken heart
I'd just as soon be holed up for days
Dig out in my own time
Lean on my shovel, squint in the sunshine
Shout to the neighbors, make sure they remember me!
And I know you're not coming back
I can't say I blame you for that
just so long you can stand
Living with a snowman
It's a white rage
It's a blank page
-Blizzard

It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard
