I been waiting a while now. Yup we got lots up the mountain at work but not here in the valley.
Of course no one believes me it's coming.. Or that it smells.
Blue tell me why it smells again... Pretty please..  I know I am not crazy in that way. |
The air smells like snow today — not surprising, according to the latest weather forecast which predicts up to 4″ of the white stuff before it changes to rain. Do you know that smell? When the air actually feels heavier as you breathe it — not wet, as it does before and after a rain storm, but heavy with frost and crystals and sharp cold. It’s a distinctly different smell that I can never put a finger on, one that is best described as feeling like “bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens”, perhaps? One that conjures up memories of red toboggans and Christmas mornings. A smell that, if you close your eyes, can whisk you off to childhood for one fleeting moment. That smell is in the air today.
