Melt refreeze cycle

Finally, we have a real winter. It may take some traveling, but I've been on natural snow every weekend, and Maine is forecast to get some more. Yet when we get new snow, rocks still appear, grass grows through the powder, and sidewalks turn into slush ponds.
Somehow, this seems to correspond with school and life. Get some extra energy, and it slowly melts off, exposing some rocks, grass, and dirt. The ski travel life, winter study, and exploratory shenanigans must come to an end, with problem sets and labs poking through. Education is fun, but a different fun. Scaring you by seriousness or bulk, rather than sunburn, frostbite, and face shots.
