Smelling Snow

Some people don’t believe me when I say “I can smell the snow coming” – even before the first snowflake falls or any snow being forecasted.

It is very easy to smell the snow living on a mountain in northern New England, but I was able to smell the snow when I lived in Massachusetts and New York.

I couldn’t smell the snow when I lived in Germany or Virginia – they got so little of it – or when I lived in Russia (because of the other smells of the city.)

In 13 years (and my 14^th Winter) here in northern New England I have never been wrong when I said I could smell the snow and then some time later it snowed. That includes the regular forecasted snow as well as the un-forecasted mountain snow.

I don’t smell any snow right now, but am getting ready to soon.
