Things I forgot, or didn't learn until after I hit "post."

> We missed the central point of the current New England snowstorm by scant miles. A half hour drive west, and we would be at the center of the storm, where they'll get 24 inches. Out here, we'll only get 20.

On the news, it said Leominster, NH, got 30 inches. I don't know where Leominster, NH, is, so it must be one of those towns in the southwestern half of the state. Keene is the only thing in southwestern NH that matters.

> So I escorted Darleen through the rapidly disappearing path to the driveway, and I tucked her away in the car, and then I brushed off the snow all around the car for the second time that day.

After letting Leen in the car, I leaned through the driver's door to start the car and get the heat going and the rear window wire heating thingy things running. Trouble was, I had the wipers on from when I came home, and so as soon as I started the car, the wipers flipped on and sent a good portion of the three inches on the windshield off the left edge -- and, because the driver's door was open, that stuff plumped into the car and in the little pocket thingy in the door. Snow RULES.
