Standing on my porch last night around 8 p.m. with my dogs, I have to say the wind whipping and the snow falling looked particularly glorious, a perfect winter’s night. But I was safe on my porch. It was just one of those moments I want to held inside, to remember.
Strange. I know.
We should reach a high of 30 degrees on Saturday, and a high of 28 on Sunday, as the National Weather Service is calling it now.
