if only i had a magic wand

[mumbledjargon]

i sit
i click
i wait in high anticipation as the page opens up...
as the picture becomes clear...
on the edge of my seat...
followed by disappointment.

i head to "favorites"
and try again
at another site

i click
i wait in more anticipation...
heart is heavy...
my mind knows not to expect anything grand
my eyes know that this picture will also show just a light coat and nothing more
but i wait
like a dog awaiting his masters presence...
and disappointment follows

i try the reports
nothing new
zero inches over the last bazillion hours
last updated in august
no new news to report
only preparational warnings that are childish at this point

base: 0"
summit: 0" (or 1" on a good day!)
am peek: white
pm peek: dreary and brown

my heart rate would spike once for a sprinkle
my heart would skip a beat for a few hours of consistency
i would die for a storm

never before have i wanted snow so badly!!
never before have i been saddened and depressed because the snow report has been the same
never before have i wanted to get massively dumped on (okay, so that's not the complete truth, but...)
never before have i been so eager to dance on that fluffy substance...
to fly through the air...
to bust through some fresh pow...
to fly down the side of the mountain with fear and adrenaline fueling my flight...

i want pow
i want snow
i want it to dump for six straight days
i want the boring ski report to shout out snow heights in feet, not inches
damn it i want to ride

if only i had a magic wand
