What's more current than the weather?

I'd guess the pane had a scratch, or an edge chip when it was assembled, making it weak enough to shatter when the frame stressed it.

Wow, NYC got hammered!

.... but I think it means something more along the lines of "have a safe journey"

There's a famous bit of archive audio from the launch of Friendship 7 (1962) where the NASA commentator says "Godspeed John Glenn".

Godspeed

The modern word godspeed derives from the expression God speed you on your way, which came about at a time when speed meant to prove successful or to prosper. That archaic sense of speed is long gone, but godspeed still means may you prosper on your way. It’s similar to good luck, though it’s often used in reference to people who have passed away. It’s also sometimes said to people, especially sailors, embarking on difficult journeys.

The term, which functions as both a noun and an interjection, is sometimes treated as two words, but the one-word godspeed is about five times as common in modern writing. Some publications always capitalize the g in godspeed, and some don’t.

This is interesting because it seems like I've seen it
misused in period movies.

Classic, here's a link to a page in WonderMap that is the current "severe weather" conditions in Connecticut...
You can chose the city to get more specific conditions up to the more recent reports.

After a week of crying wolf snow, nobody will listen, so watch out for the next one.

[glatt]

My parents officially got 27 inches of snow, but the pictures are showing that it chose to drift right on top of the driveway about 3.5 to 4 feet deep. Right up to the hand grip of a standing snow shovel. They have a snow blower though, so it's only taken all day to dig out.

This goes with the Cape Cod picture I posted above.

OH good, popsci says it's OK to eat snow.
