Look closely at this picture and you'll see snow. That's why there are lots of people staring from behind railings. This snow was happening in Pacific Place, an upscale mall. It was a nice Christmas shopping gimmick. My husband and I would actually arrange to purchase coffee around 5:30 PM to catch the six o'clock snow.

Then today I saw The Aviator, Leonardo Dicaprio's latest vehicle, and took notice of a nightclub scene with many dining under indoor snow. It was very glamorous.

Of course this makes sense for places like Hollywood or Seattle, places basically without snow. If there was lots of snow, and then you came inside to relax, and just find more snow, that would be annoying.

But why stop with snow? I would like a nice breeze in the malls, and maybe those floating dandelion seeds. A nice fog bank could be a novelty worth looking into. If I knew I would be entering a restaurant and emerging from a fog bank, I would wear something dramatic.
