Time for a couple of reader submissions.  This first one comes from David Lindsay, who sent the photo to me on March 6.  Here’s what David had to say:

I chose this picture because I live in....................................Texas, that’s right I said Texas.  We got about a foot of snow here today!!!  I know, I know, one foot big deal right but, I’ve never seen anything like it before around these parts. Anyway, thanks alot and I really enjoy reading your website.

The interesting thing is that we were in Texas when this happened—but further south where it was just cold and rainy.  I assured David that even here in West Michigan a foot of snow is still a pretty big deal, and we have the equipment to deal with it.
