2/25/10 HANGING ON

WINTER IS HANGING ON
APPLES ARE HANGING ON
WHITEOUT AT THE BEACH

Thursday, 8:15 AM. 17 degrees, up several degrees from earlier. Wind N, light. The sky is partly cloudy (mostly in the east) and the barometer predicts the same. A few large snowflakes are falling.
Winter is hanging on, in spite of indications of spring. Apples, crab apples and many other fruits still cling to their branches, the last evidence of a very fruitful season. All fruit would usually have been consumed or have fallen by now.
