When the temperature is below zero and the snow is coming down in tiny frozen pellets rather than flakes, it just doesn't stick. Instead, it piles up by the side of the road and eddies across the highway in a thousand snakedancing rivulets when the wind blows. Or it blows up into 50 yards of whiteout when a truck goes by. Then it settles back down ready to do the same thing all over again when the wind blows in the other direction.
As Julie and my cousin's son Daniel can attest, it's the kind of thing that draws a driver in, entrances them. And as I said, "Keep your eyes of the road."
