Snow covered barn.




It is over 6 inches deep at 6 p.m. and still coming down.

For this day, 5.4 inches is the record snowfall set in 1969 (via @WLOSphotog21).



True confession, I took this photo at noon, standing barefoot in the snow.

There’s about 5 inches at 2 p.m.

It started snowing around 8 a.m. and by noon there is three inches.

Rework is a really smart business book written by the crew from 37signals. If you haven’t checked it out, you must. In the meantime, Gnat Gnat has done a nice job of summarizing the highlights in this downloadable cheat sheet (pdf).

Germany’s national flag is officially black, red and gold – schwarz, rot und gold. What do the colors actually mean? Well, in the war of liberation against Napolean, the uniforms where black, had golden buttons and red lapels.
