Panics over snow do break out here at Washington. I can remember some pretty deep snows here over the years–maybe 2 feet or so the biggest–that closes this city down for many days–particularly on the side streets–so, there have been some big ones, it’s just that, as with everything else at my age, I can’t remember exactly the dates of big snow storms..or, for that matter, much of anything else..time rushes on and leaves vague memories–the snow is pretty to watch coming down now though–I don’t think this is going to be all that big a snow, of course one never knows, but it sure is pretty–in the quiet of the night.

Very quiet and peaceful..in the quiet of the night, the snow makes a wondrous silent noise as it falls…in the quiet of the night.

I am watching it now, The Dead, derivative of Mr Joyce’s The Dubliner’s, a movie which of course nobody watched, at the end of which, the husband stands at the window and says:

“Snow was general all over Ireland.”
