Storm Blog 2005!

'S'about twelve hours into the media blizzard about what the Strib is calling "Heaviest snow of season," and let's just say I'm not exactly wetting myself. However, storm scares like this one always a) make me happily expect that beautiful crisp whiteness you only see in the first few hours after a big snow, and b) conversely makes me giggle sillily about my friend Matt's long-ago imagining all the snow arriving at once - not in light little flakes, but, you know, a six-inch thick blanket dropping out of the sky in an instant, like some sort of Norse "Revelation" scenario. Something like that would help us outdo those disaster pansies on the Gulf Coast.
