Fella's, I have had alot of time to think over the past couple of weeks being cooped up inside the cabin. I'm getting 'Cabin Fever' and it's only November.
I have given alot of thought to Family members long gone and of winters and Holidays long gone. Pleasant thoughts actually.
As I look across my snow covered frozen landscape on this crystal clear bitter morning, I gave alot of thought to weather over the past half century. I can remember Winter in the 50's. We had snow on the ground and very cold temps before Thanksgiving. Seemed as snow covered the ground from Thanksgiving until Late winter. We could ice skate on the farm pond all winter. Than as we drifted into the 60's, 70's and 80's, seemed we didn't get snow except some in December and January and temps we're very mild. You could almost believe the Global Warming theory.
As we move into the 1st 10 years of a new century, I notice a weather shift again. It's becoming more like it was in the 50's again. Snow and bitter cold before Thanksgiving, no more days in the 60's in November and short sleeve shirts. It's taking it's time time but we seem to be moving into a cold era once again.
I hear glaciers are melting, I don't know about that.....I do know the Fall and Winters around here are getting more snowy and colder. Maybe it will take time for the Glaciers to slow and stop their melting. All this is just an observation of some old fat guy looking out of his window across alot of years and across Lake LaBarge.
As in most cases....Time will tell.
I believe now I'll think about an asiago cheese bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese on the top and fresh juice. :roll:
