"In Seattle, we just emerged from a two-week long cold snap, in what had already been a cold, dry winter. Those days of bright blue skies and temps in the 20s-30s reminded me of cold, crisp New England winters-highly unusual around here. Normally, the winters are drizzly at best, if not downright rainy, while the cloud cover acts as insulation and keeps the air at a fairly moderate temperature."
"Few things make me more homesick than a big snowstorm "back east." Shout out to Sterling, my hometown, which made big news for receiving the most snowfall in the whole region during the last storm. That was always my favorite outdoor chore, and I miss it. If I weren't on the IL, I'd offer to come shovel some lucky reader's driveway, patio, pathway, car, whatever you got."
Homesickness for big snowstorms back east is emphasized, with a shout-out to Sterling for receiving the region's most snowfall in the recent storm. Seattle experienced a rare two-week cold snap within an otherwise cold, dry winter, with bright blue skies and temperatures in the 20s–30s that felt like crisp New England winters. Typical Seattle winters are drizzly or rainy, with cloud cover moderating temperatures. Nostalgia is expressed for a snowscape and the chore of shoveling, including a playful offer to shovel for a reader and a wish of good luck to New Englanders digging out.
