  1. "A daytime snowfall in front of airships in sepia", by yours truly. They're not easy to make out in the storm, but once you've seen it, you can't un-see it: imagine flying your plane into a storm only to emerge through a portal into The World of Tomorrow....

  2. To shovel, or not to shovel — that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the back to suffer
    The slips and tumbles of outrageous winter,
    Or to take arms against a driveway of snow
    And by shoveling, clear it. To wait — to melt,
    No more; and by a melt to say we end
    The aching lumbar and the thousand frozen shocks
    That driveways are heir to: 'tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be wish'd. To wait, to melt;
    To melt, perchance by Tuesday — ay, there's the rub:
    For in that wait, what neighbors might then come
    When we have shuffled past in our pajamas,
    Must give us pause. There's the embarrassment
    That makes a spectacle of so long a driveway.
    For who would bear the scrape and grunt of toil,
    The frozen shovel, the numb and mittened hands,
    The pangs of a pulled muscle, the cold's delay,
    The insolence of a second storm on Thursday,
    And the sneers of the neighbor who snowblows in minutes,
    When he himself might simply wait it out
    With a warm cup of coffee? Who would labor,
    To huff and puff beneath a leaden sky,
    But that the dread of something — say, the mailman,
    Or a mother-in-law who visits unannounced —
    Puzzles the will,
    And makes us rather bear the snow we have
    Than explain to others why we didn't shovel?
    Thus laziness doth make philosophers of us all,
    And thus the noble urge to go outside
    Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of forecast,
    And the Weather app, of great import and promise,
    With this regard doth send us back to bed
    And lose the name of action.

  4. #PetOwners are also #warned to be wary of #antifreeze , which tastes sweet but is #deadly for animals. Canada West #Veterinary Specialists recommended washing dogs' feet, legs and belly after a walk in case they came into contact with antifreeze or other dangerous chemicals.
