It's been said often enough to be considered as a truism that FSI is an occasion for snow: at the show's opening, during the show, or at least when the show is closing. But it looked like this year was going to be an exception; the weather forecast for the three days of the show called for temperatures well above freezing, with rain on Friday.

And so Friday rolled around and—guess what?—it started snowing at around noon and continued the rest of the day. The picture accompanying this blog item may look suspiciously like one that was part of my show report last year, but I can assure you that it was taken this year.
