WELL EDUCATED SNOW

WHERE'S THE HOUSE?

2013 AMERICAN BIRKEBEINER RACE

Sunday,  10:00 AM.  8 degrees F, wind WNW, very blustery.  The sun is shining on the fresh snow and it is all beautiful to look at.  The humidity is down to 69% and the barometer has spiked to 30.10"
   The ice Caves reopened yesterday, the last snow storm making snow shoes or cross country skies necessary and high westerly winds make for dangerous cold.
   In Hayward, an hour to the south, the annual Birkebeiner cross country ski race was held yesterday.   The "Birky," as it is known locally is a traditional Nordic race originally meant to commemorate a heroic Norwegian exploit.  It attracted an estimated 40,00 skiers and spectators from around the world.  Don't know where we put them all.
  Did you know our Bayfield snow is very well educated?  It has attained a PHD degree.  Piled Higher and Deeper.
