It's snowing here. Not surprising, but not exactly inspiring, either, as it's the slushy, slick variety that is treacherous to walk on, and sticks to your clothes and shoes, melting and soaking through to leave one thoroughly chilled. I was looking forward to going for a long, quiet ramble this morning, but I'm either going to have to shorten it, or choose a different route, because this type of snow would make my planned one quite treacherous.
