Marching through the snow

March
2

Well, none of us really needed the 5 a.m. recorded call from the school district to know it’s a snow day. That old-fashion weather predictor, looking out the window, would have worked just fine. Even the New York City schools are closed! Ask any former city kid how rare that is.

Everyone was prepared for this one, it seems (if you weren’t, I have extra milk in the basement fridge!) My own little weather report: I was out walking the dog (he likes the snow) at about 6:30, and I saw several snowplows—and not even the same one going round and round, because I crossed municipal lines. My sidestreet was even plowed early, which is rare (and, no, I am not complaining because I understand that snow emergency routes take priority). That doesn’t mean, though, the driving will be easy. Cold temperatures will surely lead to ice patches. So, as the police say, avoid driving if you don’t have to.
