Winter is a weather reality for most of us who live in North America. While the extremes and severity of said weather vary‚ depending on the latitudinal coordinate where you reside‚ it amazes me how much more people complain these days about the cold‚ snow and even road conditions. Maybe this form of amnesia about the verisimilitude of winter’s ways is tied to our hubris‚ born from the post-modern belief that technology trumps everything else‚ including weather. It might also be fueled by local media

I walked on briskly‚ trying not to look back. Somebody was following me. I could feel it. I continued to walk‚ counting my steps‚ making sure I didn’t step on any cracks; believe me‚ I’m not the superstitious kind‚ but‚ yet‚ I felt wary. Splat. A raindrop landed right on my nose and it dripped down my face. I hated the rain‚ every drop on your head feels like an egg that is being smashed on your face. I wiped the rain of my glasses with my gloves. One step‚ two steps‚ three steps. I stopped

It’s almost as if the entire town slows down for the day‚ taking pleasure in the freshly fallen

Cold snowpacks have a negative energy balance‚ but warming causes the snowpack to become isothermal and additional energy results in positive energy balance and melt. Daily snow melt in forested areas is considerably less than melt in open areas‚ as forests protect the snow cover from solar radiation and wind. Canopy warming can increase

In order to understand our selves‚ we must first understand snow. I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of snow.

Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as ’I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole’ and ’i’d rather eat wasps’ from the easily lead‚ whom I can say no more
