LIFE IN THE "SNOW GLOBE"

WINTER BEAUTY

LIVING IN A "SNOW GLOBE" CAN GET TEDIOUS...

...BUT HAS ITS REWARDS

Sunday, 10:30 AM.  20 degrees F at the ferry dock, 23 on the back porch.  Wind SW, calm with light to moderate guts.  The sky is clear but for a few puffy white clouds.  The humidity is 75% and the barometer rising, now at 39.53".  It is a fantastic winter day.
   Lake effect snow has entered our lives with a vengeance.  Fog rising from the unfrozen water condenses and turns to snow, which drifts over the land and falls, pretty much continually.   After a while it seems like one is living in a snow globe, one of those little glass bulb enclosed landscapes in which the snow can be shaken up and drifts back down again on the miniature scene within.
   It can be beautiful inside the snow globe; but after awhile it becomes a bit tedious.  It does have its rewards, such as winter sports, and the beauty of the day after the storm.
