Just now, fine gritty snow is racing horizontally in billows across
the field in the jaws of a 60mph wind.  A few minutes ago it was
hamster kibbles of ice and before that, big grainy snowflakes. The
thermometer is hovering right around 32F and there's a couple of feet
of snow drifted up against the shop door that I should go out and
shovel away.  Now where did I put those welding goggles?  Do you
suppose #6 would be okay, all things considered?
