December 9

The pelting sound began after midnight, lightly at first and hardly noticeable as light tapping sounds on the roof.

We looked out the front window to see the street light, expecting to view falling snow of some form captured by the amber glow cast downward from the pole. Rather, the screen outside the window was caked with a rain that had begun to change over to ice, giving the window a stained glass appearance of muddled orange light made diffused by its covering.


The pelting were the ice crystals, falling in earnest and combining with a misty rain, glazing everything in a sparkling wonder.
