More Than Fifty Shades of Gray ~

I love the enigma that is winter in Central New York: the drama, the mystery. Each day dawns and there is always the question, “What's the weather like today?” Sometimes it's - “What's happening outside?”

It's always cold. Sometimes there is snow - especially if you live along the Tug Hill Plateau. Often there is wind, making the wind chill factor of interest.

But the real question is always, “What shade of gray?”

Each day a paradox. For example, today the sky is lighter than Cinder Block. I would call it dingy laundry gray. That Tunisian Taupe - that beige/gray that you get when washing clothes in water that isn't quite clean [frequently seen in third world countries].

So, the excitement builds. What color might tomorrow bring?
