As the night descended upon the city, a storm swept through, leaving in its wake a landscape transformed. It was fascinating to see the impact the storm had on the various yards throughout the city. I saw yards blanketed in a thick layer of snow. While others had a slick sheen of ice, and some were dry as the desert. My postcard for 02/14/23 is disappearing ice in a yard along Burton Avenue.
