remote control by the pillow. The blinds slowly lifted. Wave after white wave
of snow, sculpted overnight by the wind, fluted the street and the prairie

The snow would likely be gone by tomorrow;
a Colorado winter was silent snow sweeping in from the Rockies one day then
disappearing beneath a Chinook the next.
