Our annual snowstorm has begun in the gloaming. We are expecting a whopping 2 to 4 inches (or 5 to 10 cm), which will be sufficient to paralyze the city, and more than enough to sate my annual desire for snow.

The image is from a postcard in the collections of the New York Public Library Digital Gallery. The quotation on the card is from a maudlin little poem by James Russell Lowell that you can read here. Have a hanky ready.
