    ----- 
    .. Just a small adjustment in the daily plans: we expected a dusting based on local forecasts - we're getting a foot or more.
    THE GREEN WONDER
    .. The one problem with the weather forecasters in Montana is: they have no windows in their offices - oh well.
    .. Breakfast was good. The second pot of coffee was as good as the first.
    .. We'll stay closer to home and fish in the bright mid day snows.
