Hey, if you're just getting up, look out the window at the hills-- snow! We have some on our fenceposts and on the roof of the old VW beetle in our backyard. There's also quite a bit on the hills across the valley from us (separating our valley from (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sac, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

I've cooked one up that I think looks pretty good.
