What I had in mind was to contrast the snow and ice that so embodies Syracuse with the warmth of Syracuse's soul.
I'm from the Delta, and I value a warm toasty sense of community and I've found that here in Syracuse -- found my life companion, found a couple of true friends, interesting colleagues and students better than I am. Rewarding relationships during an important phase of my life. Syracuse has shown me a lot of love. This is in contrast with the ice and snow, which I dislike intensely.
crystal quilts of ice
fluffy blankets of snow with
dreams that warm the soul
