If I were to rate this short on pure enjoyment I would give it 4 stars. It had elements I really love in a story, but with some consideration it's faults hold it back and in the end I just wanted more detail.

LOVE this story. I like how vague it is. Mysterious and atmospheric. I can't wait to read more from Smith. You can read this story for free here: https://www.tor.com/2016/03/23/the-weather/

Another entry in the Tor collection that is an intriguing enough vignette, but isn't really a story. Three generations of women live in a house in some sub-optimal future, the world and society sketched as the kind of rough-and-ready, everyday harshness of an existence so many people in history have learned to live with, without ever filling in the details - perhaps somewhere between 1930s Dustbowl, Gibsonian sprawl and Mad Max outback. Mother and daughter are securing the house against a coming Storm ( although it is not the ecological disaster we expect ) while Granny Ma wanders around in her dementia, reciting social media references from her youth that may as well be Aramaic to her grand daughter.

This one didn't provide enough details to feel like a fully fleshed out story. I'm not sure what exactly was going on here.
