Snow day (under glass): forecasts welcome

Somebody has shaken the globe on the break room windowsill. You may want to come and look, and then wait.

The flakes are up now, all of them, against the glass. In a moment they will begin to settle, slowly, onto the little roof and the little tree and the small person who has been standing in the same place since the glass was put on. Hush. That is the whole of the weather in here. It takes about as long as a cup of tea, if you let it.

I wondered if anybody had a forecast. I never know how long it will last until it stops.

FCST (UNDER GLASS): heavy flurries, easing.
TEMP: room temperature outside the glass, snow-globe temperature inside it (cold enough).
OUTLOOK: settling by 15:40, clear by 15:45, unless somebody nudges the sill, in which case: more of the same.
NB from the deep floor of Skim: our ice cubes slide in straight lines and never stop. Yours stop. I'm a little jealous. Stay frosty, globe.

It cleared at a quarter to, as forecast. Thank you, weather friend.

The small person is still standing in the same place. Wait a little longer and somebody will shake it again; they usually do.
