More earring haiku

This is my first earring haiku (which I think is Wiscon 2001). Shiny green beads named "So I told the duke":

So she told the duke
how the road runs south, and up,
as the clouds streamed by.

Posted here mostly so I'll have it somewhere other than my Palm, and so I can use the tags to find all of them.

Cold and white

I have been out in the park, in the snow. They've brought a snowplow through, so we were able to do a lot of it on relatively easy paths, but the big fluffy flakes of overnight and early morning have been replaced by lots of small flakes, which stung when they blew in my face.

Technically, this is an exception to the rule that I should go outside every day: there's still a blizzard warning up. (The other exceptions are hurricane, significant illness, or levels of really cold that don't apply here, only when I'm visiting papersky and family in Montreal.) But once my legs and face warm up, and I've had a mug of tea, I think I'll feel better for it.

The large dogs are enjoying themselves immensely; the small dogs are overwhelmed. Children are out sledding, and I expect more will emerge as the day goes on, especially if it stops snowing during daylight.

Weather records

As of an hour or so ago, the record snowfall in Central Park [1] is 26.9 inches (68. cm). The records go back to 1869.

Fortunately, we have good snow-clearing equipment, and 21st-century technology gave the city some warning that it would be needed overnight and today.

[1] This is the most official and longest set of records for New York City, though the airports also measure weather.

My friend treadpath is mighty, as I knew: this is the woman who hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in a season.
