Fresh snow on the ice

Beautiful on frozen lake

Trouble on highway!

How something can be beautiful in one
setting and then so dangerous in another.

Absolutely agree with your perception.

I've always wished we could have beautiful snow and ice and dry pavement on highways.

Once learned in a part of Sweden, the geo-thermal heating for the city runs under the highways.  It warms the pavement making it only wet, while winter places icing upon the land and roof tops.  Wouldn't that be great!

Dennis; Sometimes the deception of beauty is a scary thing. You penned it well in this Haiku. Great writing as usual! Love, Ellie

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.
