"SNOW"

Boston is currently experiencing a "snow storm".

I woke up this morning and looked out my window to see "everything" covered in a "blanket" of snow.
It's "around" 68 degrees in my room, and "around" 30 degrees outside.
My windows "don't know what to do".

Given my lay-observations, there are two "kinds" of snow falling.
The first is what I think are called "snowflakes".
They fall as snow "bits"; you can "make out" individual "flakes" "zipping around".
The second looks like a mist, appearing as a single nebulous "organism" "flowing" on the "current of the wind".
I have a "theory" about where the "misty" snow comes from.
After "flaky" snow "bits" fall onto a surface, such as a tree branch or a roof, "blanketing" it, if this "blankie" is ruffled or dislodged by wind (or something else?), then mist poofs up. And this mist can be "carried off" by the wind in the form of "misty" snow.

Snow "makes" the "belief in" wind easier.
It "makes evident" the wind's "behavior".

Apparently, the police can "declare" in some official way that it is "snowing".
If the police "declare" that it is "snowing", then different snow-specific traffic laws are made operative.
These laws include rules about where people can park their cars.
If you don't know whether it's been "declared", you can call the cops to ask.
I like the "image" of someone calling the cops, looking outside their window at this "blizzard", and asking "Hi: is it snowing?".

Sounds complicated. Here, you can park wherever you want, but the snowplows'll bury your car if you leave it in an inconvenient place. Whoops.
