I was in the same winter storm system that Steve was in, only a state or so south(NM). This past friday was 90 degrees and the perfect Indian summer day. Sunday the high was 34 and that was a struggle. It snowed all day long, with the wind sometimes up to 47 mph, NE. At other times the wind got calmer (10-15)and the snow was wet and clumping together to make big flat snow balls. One of my _chores_ on Sunday was watching the snow fall on our small pond(required parkranger stuff<G>). Really pretty to watch snow fall on blooming red, pink, yellow, white and even one half open tropical blue water lillys. I not only watched the snow falling I could hear it "splup" quite often. Not unlike the sound and even the resulting splash of a surfacing bullfrog tadpole(some splashes were 4+" high). Guess this is a long version of yes it do. Maybe it is a rocky mountain snow thingy..? :-) James, where it's supposed to be in the 80's again today. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Oct 21 1999 - 07:39:00 PDT
