quilted snow patches melted
by last night's rainfall
Author notes
We had a rainstorm coming from Ottawa, Ontario back to Montréal on New Year's day and all I could remember while driving through it was the snow/rainstorm of our century when Montreal was under nature’s siege for two weeks after five days of steady rain...icicle trees and damage in the billions of dollars resulted...and the population of Quebec rose the following year.
