The semolina I used to have years ago was flakes. The small snow pellets
we referred to as sago.


Sago eh? Could be. When it snows/rains frog's eyes, we'll be in
trouble, though! Every little bit of this morning's snow has now
disappeared, but there are some super Cu+s against a perfect blue
background. A pretty perfect weather morning


I've still got a few patches of snow in the shaded area of the garden and I
see a tiny patch on a nearby roof but I doubt it'll last many more minutes.
