Picture of the Week: Slush

Flooded Intersection, The Glebe, Ottawa, March 2012
The weather has been very strange for the past few days. We had snow, blizzard, very strong winds, warmer temperatures, hail, drifting snow and then cold temperatures. This resulted in dirty snow banks and some slush.
Trust me, there is nothing more beautiful than a fresh coat of snow but there is nothing worse than slush. The slurry mixture of ice, water and dirt blocks drains and piles up on sidewalks. It makes walking around an adventure.
I don’t mind walking in the snow, although much like walking on the sand, it can be tiring. But I do hate getting my feet wet or worse, getting splashed by a car!

Hi Zhu,
.
It doesn’t snow enough in my part of France to experience slush. But, it is not hard to imagine half melted or all melted snow leftovers.
I like reflexions in puddles like the picture on top
The reflection is what caught my eyes, I’m fond of them too
It’s pretty wet and dirty! The worst is all the melting dog crap that emerges this time of year. Blech!
Oh yeah… frozen dog crap is awful
