lagilmanThey said the snow would taper off by midnight. Then by around 2am.
It's still snowing. Steadily.
(UPDATE: The snow has stopped, as of 7:30.)
I have no idea how much snow is out there -- when I look outisde I get an impression of blue shadows on white ground, red brick and bare black tree limbs against a thick white sky. Snowscapes, where every familiar signpost is missing. It doesn't look very deep, which unnerves me -- snowing for that long, and not knee-deep or higher means heavy wet snow that's a bear and a half to shovel.
But I have no inclination to get out there and measure. Maybe later.
This is a good morning to sit and drink tea and contemplate Things.
(although I do like the NYTimes's take on why snowstorms don't freak out the locals: "Snow is not sulfuric acid. Or toxic waste. Or anthrax. It isn't even ugly until the poodles come around.")
