We're supposed to get "wintry mix" tomorrow—no doubt it will peter out into a cold rain with the temp hovering at 34°F and people saying "At least it wasn't snow." Brrr. Rather have snow. Cold rain is just damn depressing and gets into your bones.
But it really does "smell" like snow out there...the cold air has that scent peculiar to before it snows. I used to be able to tell a snow sky, but a snow sky is different in the South than it is in the North. It doesn't get that dead very pale grey look in the clouds here before it snows; there is always a dark grey mixture instead.
