Dust particles from storms
in the Southwest were lofted
high into the atmosphere and
traveled east, where snow
formed around them and fell,
accumulating in parts of Ohio,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
When the snow melted next day,
it left a layer of dust on everything,
which is why everybody in Pittsburgh
rushed to the car wash today, lines
backing up into the street, and all
because of a dust storm in Texas.
Evidence of transformation and
interconnection is everywhere.
