What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

That is cool (pun intended!). I love to look at the big snow flakes thru a magnifying glass. Will try to get some pictures

Interestingly, they don't show the form of graupel we often see...looks like C4 without the column, but white (not clear)

I have seen CP7 several times in Idaho. They grow upright out of a bank of snow like a forest of snow trees.

Thanks Trua. Sounds like it. So now Big Bearians will be subjected to billboards that do nothing for the local community but a lot for visitors. Typical. Funny how Dawn Rowe didn't think to share this and her our opinions.
