Not-Quite-Winter-Storm
All day long—a definitely cold one during which the temperature never rose above freezing, which, by my reckoning, made today the first winter day, albeit certainly not the first day of winter, which is more than a month in the future—the Weather Channel's warning system grew increasingly harsh with the threat of heavy, heavy snow from a Not-Quite-Winter-Storm that WC dubbed Avery. But nothing happened during the light hours, and as darkness arrived, I was beginning to doubt the forecasts. Oh me of little faith... Around seven, the first pebble-like flakes started to appear, and an hour later, the ground was blanketed with several inches of dry, wind-driven snow. No desserts around the picnic table tonight.
