Yep.


I wonder if those of us who are young enough to only have
memories of the (historically) unusually snowless decades of the
90's and 00's (with the exception of the last three years) appreciate
the snow more than those who have memories of the 60's through
80's. Just a thought.

I still love snow, even though I can remember those relatively snowy
decades. I'm hard put to come up with a convincing rational reason
though, especially since having slipped over twice in one day on
hard-packed snow turned into ice back in December 2009 and been
fortunate not to break any bones.

Look at poor Dr Atkins of the Atkins diet fame: He slipped over on ice
on his way to his New York office hit his head and never recovered.
