Stopping by The Woods on A Snowy Morning.
Posted by Dan Satterfield
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
My favourite poem, by Robert Frost of course.
Happy New Year. I got up early Saturday and walked through the Delaware woods while they filled up with snow. Let’s hope that 2018 brings more knowledge about our fragile environment, with more love and a lot less hate.

Thank you, Dan, for sharing your beautiful photos and for Robert Frost this morning! (Stopping by Woods also favorite since childhood/poetry gifted to me by my Dad).
And yes, May 2018 be a year when hearts are enlightened with the spirit of awareness and kindness toward our incredible gift—this earth.
More than welcome. That poem kept running through my head as I walked and I approached the frozen lake, I repeated it out loud to myself alone.
Hi Dan when I was in the woods today I noticed some strange ice formations on the ground took some pics.When I got home started checking online to see if I could find any pics that looked like the one I took, found one on a AGU BLOGS site. When I opened the site i found out they are called ice flowers what really took me by surprise was seeing your picture on the side bar of the site. I thought what the heck is Dans picture doing here then I looked at the top of the page and read Dan’s wild wild science journal i had know idea you have this site. I read some of your articales and really like your site going to subscribe to it. Watch your weather forcast daily on wboc.
Yes, I was hoping we would see some! Can you email me the pic? Will put it on air.
Hello, Dan,
Love the Robert Frost poem!
By the way, would you perhaps find time to write a synthesis of how Global Warming or Climate Change will affect weather patterns in 2018 or the next 5-10 years? Thanks a lot.
The best answer to how patterns will change in the next 5-10 years is likely to be more surprises. In most aspects, the changes have been faster and more pronounced than expected. Scientists, in general, are a rather conservative group, so this is not really a surprise.
