I have an outstanding memory...its just short! Al was talking about "squeeky" snowflakes and I said he was mashing them walking on them....thought this would be appropriate.....this is beautiful! http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~atomic/s...tos/photos.htm

That's really a great site, Dave, and wierd! My son, Kevin and his wife are both CalTech grads. Kev completed his Ph.D. in neurobiology at USC last February and is now a research fellow at Washington U in St. Louis.MO.

He doesn't take pics of snowflakes, though!

How can something so beautiful, be such a pain in the a**! Snow a foot deep on my back deck, the dog loves it, skipping and prancing about like a new lamb in spring......but at -25 C walking the dog in it becomes a bit much!

Roll on spring!

That is why I live in the deep south
no snow
no do not send me any


Of course I am orig dron Georgia. Did not snow very much back in Ga. but when it did was usually mixed with freezing rain and sleet.
That made the roads now only covered in snow but ice as well
hazardous driving conditions
I liked the snow as a kid
but when I became an adult and had to get out in it and work or drive to work i started hating to see it snow
When it snows in the south
everything shuts down completely
stores sell out of basic items lke milk bread and other staples
no equipment in the south to clear the roads

I think the pictures on the snow covered land in the northern states and Canada are beautiful
but that beauty would paralyze us in the south
