"...there is a crunch to the snow as the melt begins, the top a layer like icing - beneath is the slippery ice and the compacted snow. And so, whilst I enjoy the brightness and the crisp air, I am careful how I walk. Perhaps later the brownish colour of the steps will show through and the ice will be free-running water, just the same as after a rain-shower. Until then, I breathe deep and place each foot with care..." ~ Angela Graham
