Powdery Frigid Crystals

Overnight we got an inch of snow!
...
All week it's been required long-underwear weather here, in the teens n 20's. The Cape finally got some of the ocean-storm precip that's been backing mostly into Maine from the Atlantic.
...
At midnight I got to clean off the truck windows before going home early. They let me out for a Jury-duty call. Back in March on the night before, the Jury Commish cancelled it on me, but this time was a "go."
...
I had a tough time getting to sleep 'cause usually I'm still working at that hour. Waking up after only two hours of sleep was a major challenge, too.
...
Never mind staying awake during hurry-up n wait-around in a small, crowded room all day, during my normal sleeping-hours. The chairs were not comfortable for me, n my eyes were too sore to keep reading, which was the popular main activity. I counted five people getting in naps while I was fighting with my sore parts to stop complaining.
The only small-talk engaged in during the nothingness concerned how the Patriots let the last football game Sunday slip from their control. Everyone is still depressed about being let down.
...
My number was middle-range. After empaneling a couple of six-person juries, they stopped filling seats on the number directly ahead of mine! What luck! (Note: I wouldn't mind doing it in more rested condition, but I mind like this).
...
TG I got to go home without having to go to work for the night. Rest-up time much needed, round two coming up very soon on the docket.
...
On the way home I stopped again at my fav beach for a "Jette in the Snow" shot in the overcast daylight. There were tons of geese n gulls hanging out at the water's edge, too. I didn't disturb them from keeping their seats warm.
...
The inch of snow is shrinking away already. Normally there's some large ice flows in the water by now. Maybe after another deep-freeze week of Artic air.
