Snow can be a nuisance.
It literally halts us in our tracks, arrests our progress. It wreaks a kind of silent, stealthy havoc. It can kill, usually indirectly by forcing humans and animals into unwanted isolation or uncontrollable accidents. Certainly, it is the worst of the weather inconveniences in an industrialized, commercial world that functions only when goods and people are moving. Modern airports seem particularly vulnerable to its crippling accumulation.
