The sky is a very odd shade of grey this afternoon. Usually Boston's grey sky has a bluish cast but this one appears to be a warmer shade, tinged with brown or yellow. It's the color of what, in Southern California, we referred to as "smaze," the combination of smog and haze that would sit on the horizon above the Pacific.

And that's the other weird thing about it. The color has descended and is tingeing everything with same unfamiliar hue. Not the fog, just the color. The clouds remain in the sky looking ominous. It's like when the sky turns green just before a tornado strikes. What is going to strike after the sky turns a peculiar shade of grey?

Where's that giant Crayola box when you need it?
