For many years
I was the
self-appointed inspector
of snowstorms
and rainstorms,
and did my duty faithfully,
though I never
received one cent for it.
   -- Henry D.Thoreau
   1817-1862
   Journal, 1845

 

Oh,
what a blamed
uncertain thing
this pesky weather is;
it blew and snew
and then
it thew,
and now,
by jing,
it's friz.
   -- Philander C. Johnson
   1866-1939

 

Nature
is full of genius,
full of divinity;
so that not a
snowflake escapes
its fashioning hand.
   -- Henry D. Thoreau
   1817-1862
   Journal, 1856

 

Everybody
talks about the weather,
but nobody
does anything about it.
   -- Charles D. Warner
   1829-1900
   Hartford Courant, 1890

A fierce October, 1999 storm
along Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore shoreline, west of
Grand Portal Point, produces
15-foot seas on Lake Superior.
In spite of the 100-foot sandstone
cliffs, crashing waves send sand
and spray raining down on the
hiking trail hidden well back
in the trees.

In God's wilderness lies the hope of the world,
 the great, fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
