Let It Snow

A New Year greeting from Michigan's Upper Peninsula where the snow this winter waited a long time to show up...starting about midnight on New Year's Eve:




Everyone is thankful that some snow finally arrived, but it remains to be seen if it will be enough to help the faltering business climate in the area when all that is left is tourism. Winter without adequate snow doesn't generate the income needed to survive. Blizzard warnings have everyone hopeful that the snow is now here to stay and hoping enough piles up for the Porkies ski hill to open.

Snow What?

In honor of the passing into the spring equinox, I am now removing the snow effect widget from my sidebar. Perhaps I should have removed it just before the first day of spring and we wouldn't have gotten the little snowstorm which dropped four inches of snow on us. What do you think?
