A dark, gloomy, forboding 30F this morning, with a frigid stillness in the air and the sun barely shining through the cloud. Heavy snow forecast for today. Update: Snow began with a flurry at 9.21 and was a whiteout and an inch deep by 10.30am. What a difference an hour makes. Home fires burning, check. About a foot or two of snow and 28F at dusk.
