    What is this 'snow' thing you guys get so hung up about?

    Snow is a marvelous, magical, miraculous phenomenon that transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland. Only specially fortunate areas of the country are blessed with this gift. Those of us lucky enough to enjoy it feel sorry and pity for those sad souls who will never experience the delights it brings.

    Well, I'm all for wonderlands. I hear that word used a lot today to describe our government's fiscal policy.

    So, seeking more background, I read the blog post in your link and all it really says about snow is that it requires some sort of special shovel.

    The rest of the post is mainly about varying levels of pain, how to pretend that doesn't bother you, and the special survival gear to wear if it does.

    So the wonderland is about the exhileration of surviving a near-death experience?

    OK, but I still don't get the part about the shovel.

    The shovel is a bit like a credit default swap. It's there in case something really bad happens but the chances are you won't really need it and even if something really bad did happen it probably wouldn't help you unless the government came and dug you out. Got it?

    Of course the rest of the post is about pain. Most of my blog is about pain. Laser sailing is all about Pain. After all, 200,000 masochists can't be wrong.

    I grew up in the land of ice and snow. Nowadays, the closest I get to it is hallucinating when I walk my beaches on stormy days: the white water, freeze frame in my mind's eye, looks just like Colorado blizzard topography along the snow fences. As for this scene, these waters look awfully lonely without any buoyant fiberglass and sail shapes bending to the wind.

    Baydog, glad to be of service regarding the Spinaker Pole, anytime you need to use it, you know where it is.

    How about the BIG Blue?!

    I like snow. In all the places I've ever lived, snow is something that came to me only very rarely, if at all, and which I could go visit for a day or so, then leave when I'd had enough.

    Shovel? That sounds like "WERK!", as Maynard G Krebs would say.
