It was a perfectly bad January day. Better yet, the whole month had been that way. Everywhere you turned was the same shade of grey. The sky was dark, and the sun never even tried to peek thrown the ominous clouds, but in a different way it was beautiful. Among the brooding clouds floated soft, delicate snowflakes.
