8:30 PM, there is a crippling 1" of snow on the ground, Weather Channel people are on the lawn wetting themselves with excitement, and all the bridges are closing at midnight in case we slip and sue them. Wind is gusting to 3 or 4 mph.
I can hardly breath with the thrill of it all.
This is all true except the Weather Channel people wetting themselves are not actually on our lawn, they are on TV, and just now we can start to hear the wind. But, really, little snow, and no heavy snow anywhere on the radar. And, they really are closing the bridges. When I was a boy, I drove my rusting Subaru over the old Jamestown bridge at the height of Tropical Storm F (1979?): no problem.
