I know the smell of snow in the offing.

But do you know the smell of snow in the offing here?

It still smells like incipient wet out there, but it hasn't happened yet. (And I'm just glad "wet" here never smells like it did where I grew up -- after a summer rain you'd think a million earthworms had crawled up and died. May or may not have had something to do with the nearby chemical plant. *\;-)
