FOR ALL THOSE FLAKES OUT THERE!
Welcome to "Flake Appreciation Day!" And, no,
I'm not referring to any of those "weird people" you
may know. This day is dedicated to the appreciation
of snowflakes! You know, water vapor that freezes
into those ice crystals that create a winter wonder
land around most of our area between December
and May. We've always been told that no two snow
flakes are identical but in 1998 Nancy Knight, a
scientist at the National Center for Atmosphere
Research in Boulder, Colorado, found two
identical samples while studying snow crystals
from a storm in Wisconsin. I always wondered
who was checking all those snowflakes! In any
case, this is the day we are suppose to appreciate
each flake. It's probably a lot easier to do if you're
watching, rather than shoveling them. If you haven't
checked any of the snow from our storm this past
week you may have to spend the day appreciating
some of your weird friends! Hope you'll appreciate
one or the other and that all your NEWS is good!
