Model Snowflakes and Hints of Spring
Last week we had a snow dumping, mild in comparison to other areas of the country but the biggest 9″ – 12″ inches we’ve seen in many winters. Had it been sledable it would have been very fun. However, I was working. Coincidentally, a story ran in the Post about how snowflakes can be originated by mathematically designed computer models at The Universities of Wisconsin at Madison and California. Here are the details in Science Daily. Beautiful but Nature is not meant to be perfect or controlled for that matter.
And one week later, a mild May, early spring-like day with temperatures in the 70’s. Nature is fickle and mysterious in its ever changing moods.
