You folks make me homesick for Pittsburgh. Within a year of moving to South Florida I thought I was going crazy one morning when I smelled snow - that lovely scent just a few hours before the snow would fall. Well, much to the amazement of everyone, that evening it snowed - really - enough snow that one could see it as if fell though it melted as it hit the ground. People still talk about the day it snowed in Miami but I keep hoping just to smell that lovely scent once more. As every snow-loving person knows there is nothing that smells as clean and crisp as snow before it begins to fall. Even in Florida.
