Mike,<\/p>\n
I’ve been enjoying the snow here in all its myriad forms, so much that I’ve been neglecting my duty to the blog. It’s so much more difficult to write something “bloggable” about good times. Sad, distressing, disastrous events make much better copy. But I have to say something about how fine and wonderful the snow is here. It’s 90% air! Take a look at these closeups <\/a> I shot of some snow that fell a couple of days ago on our garden.<\/p>\n When you multiply this a thousand fold, you get piles of crystals with mostly air around them. No wonder the skiing is so much fun. And no wonder the snow disappears so fast. It just blows away to Kansas in the winds. There has been more than 50 inches of snow here since winter started, and right now all the roads are clear. I even saw a crocus blooming today.<\/p>\n But lest everyone move out here enmasse, I should point out that spring snows here are not like this. The snow is wet and slushy. My memory from the 60’s is not so clear on this, but that’s what the Boulder Daily Camera says. I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n rakkity<\/p>\n PS: I’ve found a racquetball partner! We’ll see what transpires. Maybe I’ll break my right shoulder this time, and we can get some more X-rays on the blog? (Just some dark humor loved by the blogmeister.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mike, I’ve been enjoying the snow here in all its myriad forms, so much that I’ve been neglecting my duty to the blog.
