bktheirregularCreative juices have run dry, or so I thought. Maybe they froze instead.
Temperature's down below freezing in the afternoon now, and snow is now coming down like it's making up for lost time. Could be interesting ... and in any case, I'm suddenly glad the family invested in a snow-blower. (And bought it when it was still shirtsleeve weather, natch.)
I've seen snow like this in New Hampshire, and in the District of Columbia.
In DC, in January 1994, one inch of snow did so much damage that the entire U.S. government was shut down for a week. I'm not kidding. The Russian navy could have sailed up the Potomac and they wouldn't have gotten a coherent reaction.
In New Hampshire, this much snow on a December afternoon would leave people pondering the age-old question:
"So when does the snow start?"
Close entry.
