Who's going to be the first reporter to bend down, gather up some snow, make a snowball and toss it?

Just add snow.

Belgrade Auto on Belgrade Avenue is ready for this afternoon.

Morning over the hills

Are those snow clouds moving in over the Great Blue Hill this morning? The scene from the top of Millennium Park in West Roxbury.

Big snowstorm midweek?

A weatherman can hope. The French Toast Alert now at blue, still too early for major panic, but we're eying that near-empty cinnamon bottle ...

Stiofan forwards this photo of the result of a car-vs.-bollard incident in Harvard Square this morning. Lots of other smashups reported across the area as we magically lose the ability to drive in snow.

Mother Nature has some unfinished business in Boston

John Michael Garcia's photo of City Hall Plaza after last night's snow shows Mother Nature missed a few spots - which she'll probably get to tomorrow.

And you can love it and pet it and hug it and call it George

Just in time for snow, Boston has launched its Adopt-a-Hydrant program, in which you promise to shovel out a specific hydrant after a storm, like, say, the ones we're supposed to get tonight and Saturday.

Meanwhile, both Brookline and Cambridge have referral programs to match residents with snow with teens with shovels.

Snow good for rat tracking

Snow catches Boston by surprise

Crash at Everett and Clevemont in Brighton. Photo by bbarbaruolo.

Update, 11 p.m.: Expressway in Dorchester at a complete standstill in both directions; six cars collided on the Zakim.

Drivers unaccustomed to powder-covered roads, coupled with a lack of salt, means spinouts and crashes are beginning to pile up. A Hummer ran up into a house on Lake Street in Brighton, but did no major damage to either house or people. Police shut Everett Street in Brighton after cars started playing pinball. Boston DPW salt trucks began blasting out of their yards to treat roads around 10:45 p.m.

Ed. note: I held off on raising the French Toast Alert based on a forecast that called for everything to melt by morning as temperatures rose into the 40s. I should have known better.

Tom Bruno arrived at the Gloucester commuter-rail stop this morning to find it coated in all this white powder and wonders what in the world it could be.

Snow in the Boston area!

OK, granted, it's man made, but if you want to remember what the stuff looks like, you can get a good view of the Great Blue Hill ski slope from Meadow Road in Readville.

UPDATE: There is one place in the Boston area where you can see snow.
