  It was icy and horrible out today, but it was still nice. The ice was melting because the weather was not cold enough to sustain its tenacity, and I know that it was a disappointment to someone, because I heard a voice in the wind saying, "We've got cold ice today.
Let's keep it all nice and cold. It's got to stick to everything now. " Whoever it is that works on our weather every day was having some trouble with the machines, and had really had their hearts set on ice for the whole week. What we have right now has lasted the whole day, but I don't think it's going to stay all week. Most of us are pretty happy, but I feel sorry for the workers, because their supervisor was really getting after them. It wasn't their fault though. Like I said, the machines were broken. Maybe by tomorrow, they'll be working again, but I hope not, because I like it when it starts to get warmer.
I think I know what the problem is, not with the machine, but with the weather company. They don't want to keep producing snow, so they figure if they just keep it cold enough, the streets will be covered in white for longer periods of time, without them having to use the resources to produce as much snow, plus they don't need as many workers that way. I think it's really sad when the weather people start cutting it that close.
