Icicles

Today the morning temperature was a whopping 7 degrees;
soon the sun came out and the temperature
rose to a tropical 35. 
And the snow began to melt.
And as the snow melted, 
icicles formed along the rooftops.


Sun shining on icicles creates more icicles:
clear, sparkling curtains of ice.


So pretty.
Icicles are a pleasant aftereffect of cold and snow
and paradoxically, an assurance that winter won't last forever.
