Snow?

 You look outside: Ah, it is snowing! But look closer. Those are not snowflakes falling from the sky! What is it snowing at your house?

Tanner stepped outside when he noticed the first snowflakes land on the deck. A smile grew on his face as he tried to remember the last time it snowed. He held out his tongue to try and catch a snowflake.

"Is that cotton candy?" he wondered while smacking his lips.

Catching another snowflake in his mouth confirmed it. Cotton candy was falling from the sky. He laughed at the the delightful absurdity.

He ran inside to fetch a bowl, and catch as much as he could before the novelty disappeared. As he put the bowl down on the deck, his grin dropped to a frown. The cotton candy was falling and sticking across the neighborhood.

He unthinkingly licked a tuft from the back of his hand, and, a moment later, another tuft landed and melted into a small patch of sticky syrup. Noticing the sticky spot on his hand, he moved back inside.

The cotton candy continued to fall, sticking to nearly every surface. Tanner shuddered as he thought about what this must be doing to traffic.
