Well, enough to be beautiful. A friend from Lake City wrote this morning and said it is the lowest he can remember in decades for this time of year. That can change in just one storm. We're not worried yet, and have enough to enjoy. There was a book we bought at the Smithsonian on our trip to DC (our one vacation) back in I guess '05 - the book was all photos of snowflakes. Full page photos. It was so magnificient. We gave it as a gift to the couple who were "caretaking" for us during that vacation - and during the biggest storm this mountain received in the past eight winters! Yes, we were most disappointed to miss it... though DC was pretty impressive. Not enough snow, Karen. Well, enough to be beautiful.

One time I saw on TV that you can take a snowflake with tweezers, put it on a microscope plate and I believe seal it with superglue which actually preserves it. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I may have it all wrong but I think that's the way it worked. Of course, who has microscope plates laying around? Gin, I'm so proud for the refreshing snow. How much did you get? Enough for Forrest and Bob to have some fun? Aren’t snowflakes beautiful?
