Snow’s melting. Again.

Only small patches remain.

When will it return?

Thinner Arctic ice?

Some kind of global warming

could be at work here.

From National Geographic News:

Turns out there is such a thing as being too young and too thin.

Arctic ice continued its decline this winter, with hardy, thicker old ice increasingly being replaced with quick-to-melt, thinner young ice, according to a new report by NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

This troubling National Geographic video has more.  (Not seeing the video? View it here.)

Winter is melting

We can see our driveway now

The lawn, not so much

Disingenuous

This blue sky which seems so fair

still has winter’s teeth

It’s minus fifteen

Glad I’m not a brass monkey

If you catch my drift…

Flurries in the air

Seasons come and seasons go

I’m SO not impressed
