Atmosphere:
Go meet your neighbors at the grocery store. It will be a bread and milk day with 1 to 3 inches of snow predicted for tomorrow. Cloudy today with a high near 45.
Maybe my way of passing along weather information is a little too nice for your taste? Maybe you like things a little more salty? Well, here you go. (Don’t click if you find certain words offensive.)
