Outside, the wind blew from the North, sending a chill to a small town in Maine. The previous night, a huge snowstorm hit the Northeast. The snow had piled up roughly two feet. Snow at this time of year was not unheard of, but undetected blizzards were. In this day and age, meteorology was extremely advanced. In most cases, weather patterns could be decided, sometimes, weeks in advance. There was something definitely odd about this snowstorm.

The adults grumbled at the snow. It was quite a hindrance to drive through snow to work. Most children, though, rejoiced knowing that they had no school. The only thing the very young children, age seven and younger, griped about this day, was it was Friday. This snowstorm could cause them to miss school for several days. It would have been far better if the storm had come on a Monday. To the teenagers, any day off from school was good.

Either way, wether the snow was a boon or a bane, it was a weird storm. Normally, there wouldn't be snow if there was a North wind. If the wind came from the North, it would be too cold for snow. It would become either freezing rain or hail, in that case. Something out of the ordinary was happening. Few noticed it, but some did. Those that felt the odd feeling couldn't tell what it was. They didn't know that this storm would set a chain of events in motion.
