When dreams turn to nightmares

Jingle those bells!    (Photo by Pete Markham)

Many dream of a snowy Christmas season.  But when do such dreams turn to nightmares?  If you’re in the Northeast of the United States, right about now.

A heavy-duty Northeaster pounded its way through state after state, killing “at least four people” and incapacitating countless others.  As much as 44 inches of the flakey stuff was measured within New York’s Southern Tier.  This on top of pandemic-induced crises…

Those who could grabbed snow-removal tools and got to work.  If the rest of 2020 didn’t crush them, this wouldn’t either.  This too shall pass, and one-horse open sleighs shall once again jingle.
