----- 
.. 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.
