OK, so Monday morning and snowing again. Welcome to New England, in all its spectacular winter glory.  I found myself yesterday with a most excellent view of the historic and very frozen Concord River and only my IPhone to record it.  This is the land of Emerson, Alcott, and Thoreau. So please accept Figure 1 for what it is.  Merely a tourist’s snapshot, appropriately taken with a cell phone.  This just in case you are wondering why we put up with this kind of weather.  It is so, so beautiful and we love it.
