The word 'drip' now, takes on a different meaning than in the old school days when it referred to a weak or wimpy character.
But that was then- this is now; so, at least here, it's a good thing, meaning Spring nears; it's thawing; so it's time to find a big empty can and place it under snow covered eaves to catch H20 drips for houseplants. They'll be happy you gave them a break from that chlorinated faucet stuff.
...funny how focus changes from school days to older days!

"It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale."
QUOTE BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Suddenly, a long winter's frustrations give way to sunny, thawing temperatures and emotions.
Calm smiles reign as moods warm to soothing change.
Neighbors shovel wet snow from driveways, grinning as they do.
Children build snowmen to see how long it'll take them to thaw.
Snowmobilers grab their last chance -'til next winter.
Conversations turn from high-strung to calm.
You'd think the whole dang town was suddenly sedated.
Well, it is !!
