It happened over the weekend. Even though big snowstorms have variously arrived from time immemorial, it is still a spectacular thing to observe. It starts slowly with little flecks but over the hours it intensifies. Eventually, the skies dump as much as eight inches of stunning snow on the ground. It transforms everything you see, from buildings to streets to trees. Everything turns from winter brown to the brightest white, as this frankly unusual thing blankets the earth.
