A distance drive on a stormy day. Horizontal snow blows across the road from the right, changing direction midstream. Roadway breathes with snaking, vaporous snow, flowing before my car like a tide. Mesmerizing.
Wind hits from the left, the entire works blows into opaque cloud as an oncoming semi passes within feet. Zero visibility.
Flat light, socked in storm, taillights obscured by snow. Drift after drift, snow headed to earth. No where to go but forward–or off the road.
On a sunny day, driving this road is thoughtless. Wild but still beautiful, this side of Nature commands full attention.
Home again, garage door closing slowly shuts out the storm. Glad to be inside looking out.
Shouldn't...but Do
