At 11:00 a.m. in Evanston snow was falling. It still is, though there has so far been little accumulation here near the lake. I knew that Steve Earley in Norfolk, Virginia, where it was noon, was hoping to sail this weekend. I emailed him and almost instantly got a reply with the above photo. He is indeed sailing and had just tied up SPARTINA for a few minutes to get a sandwich for lunch. Quite civilized.
The snow is pretty. I keep telling myself.
Sail on, Steve. Sail on for those of us who can’t.
