Speaker A:

This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net A cold morning with a rigid sky as the flakes in their millions soften everything they touch.

Speaker A:

The first snow doesn't just fall, it hushes, taking the hard edges off the world, smoothing them out one quiet inch at a time.

Speaker A:

For a few hours, our towns forget themselves and the noise fades and the streets slow.

Speaker A:

Even the impatient pause at red lights a little longer as the piles build on the streets.

Speaker A:

We'll complain soon enough about shoveling, about the salt, about the slush, but not yet.

Speaker A:

It's new again.

Speaker A:

For now.

Speaker A:
