weather craziness

[jinian]

"Holy shit," I just said aloud, looking out the window. "That is snow." I didn't exactly think the weather forecasters were wrong when I heard secondhand (on Halloween, from the woman at the bus stop who gave me a tinsel crown) that there might be snow this weekend, but I assumed it was one of those vanishingly small chances. Nope. Small, heavy flakes are coming down out there. At least they're not sticking. I'd feel seriously displaced if snow were sticking in Seattle on the second day of winter.
