A world of white – everything covered, even to the finest wires. Yesterday’s threat made good – But the threat was far more beautiful than the carrying out – For several years now, I have not been ready for the first snow – I view it with boredom & dread, looking ahead to the long bitter season to follow.
Charles E. Burchfield, November 10, 1942
