Instead of arriving with a promised fury and much needed snowpack, it had resigned itself to a cloudy, overcast, foggy, dreary, leaden sky. I admit that it had taken control of my mood. I had been up since before dawn awaiting some sense of promise to the day, something that would shake the overhanging blight on my soul.
