…A WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON…

This may become something of a treat for us, as if more snow on the ice we already have yields the feeling one would associate with the idea of “treat”. I don’t see any snow yet and I’m highly critical of our childlike weathercasters but we shall see if Kalamazoo is touched or more likely that Allegan is obliterated in a fog of dense blowing snow. I still maintain that Winter is the most romantic season, however I’ve noticed a distinct lack of monster pine trees, as everything around here is Oak and Maple and therefore skeletonized and totally dreary. If you listen very closely you can make out the happy tunes of “White Christmas” being played over and over again to an audience that is howling in agony. ‘Tis the season. 🙂
