I don't know how wide-spread the term 'termination dust' is, but I first heard it as a description
for a light dusting of snow over the Chugach Hills in SE Alaska, meaning, presumably, that it
signalled the end of decent weather and the start of another long, hard winter. Unlike Alaska,
winter here doesn't usually arrive with a bang and six-foot snow drifts, so I find this expression
a nice way to softly ease into this last season of the year. Alaskans seem to be masochistically
attached to their brutal five or seven-month shut-down, but we softies don't usually have such
hard winters, and those that we do have, like 1962-3, we remember for generations
(apparently I was born in the middle of one, 1947). So in southern Britain, we tend to look
forward to our 'termination dust', knowing that it's possibly all we'll get.
