Christmas Eve snowball © kjm

I had a vigorous, pre-dawn shoveling session this morning. The snow was the "brownie" type: a slightly crunchy surface, with moist snow below. It was also of the "good packing" variety, which is to say, good for snowball or snowman-making. Many a grown man in Wisconsin will still reflexively bend down to pack a snowball, if the conditions are right.
