Blizzard conditions are in the forecast today with accompanying wind gusts that may or may not result in power outages. This is exciting weather news - depending on who you talk to - after a stretch of ho hum days marked only by frigid single-digit temperatures, weak sunshine, and brutal wind chills that brought tears to my eyes.
Aside from being a nuisance to shovel and plow and a joy to skiers and snowmobilers, snow is comprised of ice crystals and air and is 10 times lighter than water. Two things are believed about snowflakes: no two are alike and they all have six points. While it's true that no two flakes are exactly alike, many do not have six points. Flakes vary in size too. Big fluffy flakes are groups of snowflakes that stick together as they fall to the ground. Other flakes can be the size of a dime or the size of a pencil point.
What to do on such a day when travel isn't wise and the power may go out. I opt for writing, reading, planning a Sunday School lesson, and household chores. What do you do?
