It rained last night and it is raining today. As the temperatures hover a few degrees below zero the rain falls and instantly adds to the layer of ice which covers every glittering surface like glass. The trees bow down the air itself has a gleam and even dirt has a shimmer and shine to it. Light glints off a million precious diamonds as the sun struggles to make an appearance through the swirling rain and snow laden clouds. From the safe haven of a warm house it is nothing but sheer beauty.
Stepping outside however is another matter entirely.
