I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little seasonally confused these days. We had vicious East winds followed by high pressure and now, Old Man Winter has returned. We could see another few feet of snow before the end of the month so get out there and ski it while you can! On today's episode, I had the chance to chat with my friend Chris Dickson from the San Juan Snowcast. Along with taking a behind the scenes look at both podcasts, we'll talk about our motivation behind these shows. I'll also tell a story from a near miss I had this past week and walk you through my decision making in the mountains.

(It also might not, but at least there's food, music, masks, and other amenities.) All of that (minus the groundhog) will be observed next month when the Swiss mountain community of Helvetia hosts its 57th annual Fasnacht. The pre-Lenten celebration is referred to as “the feast before the fast” during which an effigy of Old Man Winter is set afire to beckon and welcome the arrival of spring. The event takes place from 3 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10, in the town square of the Randolph County community. Revelers can expect Appalachian and Swiss music, decadent foods, a parade illuminated by candle-powered lampions, and the opportunity to don colorful, homemade masks to scare away Old Man Winter (and compete for prizes).

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Monday, Dec. 25  Step back in time with videos from The History Project. Learn about the origins of the Swiss mountain community of Helvetia, Blenko Glass, and Stone & Thomas department store…on today's daily304. #1 – From THE HISTORY PROJECT – Appalachian heritage is known to be spread among German, English, and Scots-Irish cultures, but a tiny town in West Virginia represents a different European union, Switzerland.  Helvetia was founded by Swiss immigrants after the Civil War to create better lives for themselves in a new mountainous home. Their traditions and culture still survive, particularly in the form of Fasnacht, a pre-Lenten masquerade ball featuring traditional music as the revelers scare away Old Man Winter. The History Project is the daily304's presentation of famous people, places and events that shaped West Virginia. Watch the video on our YouTube channel, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button! Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bR9AnWL09g    #2 – From THE HISTORY PROJECT – Because of its abundance of natural gas and its many rail lines, West Virginia became a bastion of glass making in the U.S. Many of the state's glass houses were, and still are, known worldwide for their fine artistry.  Unfortunately, the industry changed and all of the Mountain State's handcrafted glassmakers have closed except one, Blenko Glass of Milton, which is the gold standard of hand blown glass, thanks to a history of shifting with the times and innovation. Watch this History Project video on the daily304's YouTube channel. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXoNIQZeolY   #3 – From THE HISTORY PROJECT – In this era of shopping from home, younger generations may not understand the glamor of dressing up to go downtown to pursue this activity.  Each American city of every size had a variety of stores, offering the personality and flair of the owners and local tastes.  West Virginia's cities shared in this commercial endeavor with store names that were locally beloved. But from them all, Stone & Thomas Department Store emerged from Wheeling to become the Mountain State's favorite place to shop and be seen. Take a peek into this fascinating bit of West Virginia history. You'll find this video and others on the daily304's YouTube channel. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KAoFTMv26o   From The History Project - And on this holiday we have an extra special video on our video of the day.

I'm so glad we have lots of things around our house that bloom when spring pushes out Old Man Winter. Now, if you have allergies, you probably don't look forward to Spring, but I hope you can at least enjoy some of its extravagant beauty. And it isn't just things to see. Every year, as I was rushing around the yard doing my chores, I would catch this beautiful scent every time I went past this one flowering bush. It's actually not far from our trash cans; not the most fragrant item in our yard. But, you know, I actually loved to catch the aroma of those flowers. I love it when the iris and the peonies start to bloom (I would have no idea what they were if my wife hadn't told me). They give off this inviting fragrance, like this fantastic yard perfume! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Unforgettable You." A dear friend of ours wore this distinctive perfume for all the years we knew her - it was her trademark scent really. You could close your eyes and you knew it was her. At her funeral, our pastor talked about that perfume and the fragrant trail she always left wherever she went with the life she lived. She touched ours and so many others with the fragrance of her life. That's how it's supposed to be for anyone who belongs to Jesus Christ; leaving a trail of fragrant blessing wherever you go, with whomever you meet. How are you doing on that? Like those flowers in our yard, there should be this compelling beauty about your life that brings beauty into theirs. Even if there's a lot of trash in their life right now. The fact is, we all give off some kind of fragrance with the way we treat people, and the way we handle stress, and whether we make people feel more or less important, whether we bring sunshine into a situation or clouds. This would be a good day for you to evaluate: what kind of trail, what kind of life-fragrance do I leave? One man who shows us the kind of trail we're supposed to leave is written about in our word for today from the Word of God. It's in Acts 4:36-37. At a time when the just-birthed Christian community had a lot of needs it says, "Joseph...whom the disciples called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet." This man had left such a trail of encouragement the apostles actually changed his name to fit the impact he made. They called him "Mr. Encouragement." Listen, if people were to change your name to something that describes the effect you have on them, what would they call you? That name should reflect at least one of the qualities of what the Bible calls the "fruit of the Spirit"; that is, the kind of person the Holy Spirit makes you. According to Galatians 5:22-23, you should be giving off a fragrance of "Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." So how are you doing with that? Do people feel that you care about their need? Do you stop to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice? Are you calm in the midst of the frenzy or are you just another stress-carrier? Do people feel important when they're with you because you listen to them and focus on them? Do they feel lifted up or put down by being around you? People are so starved for praise, for appreciation. If you give it, you'll be a magnet. And all this is so they will want to know why you're so different from everybody else in their busy, self-centered, self-promoting universe. A life with a beautiful fragrance gives you the opportunity to point them to the One who makes you that way because of how He has treated you, and that of course is Jesus. In the words of Matthew 5:16, they will "See your good works" and ultimately then they will "praise your Father in heaven." Your fragrant life can help lead them to eternal life. When people pass your way, would you let them catch a whiff of Jesus so they, too, can experience His love.

Dodging defense and dodging snowflakes. In lacrosse in the Northeast in February it important to be able to do both. The Statesmen came out on top of a battle with Colgate and the weather on Saturday and will have a similar challenge from Cornell and Old Man Winter on Tuesday.

Old Man Winter packs one helluva punch! It's been a helluva week and I went off on a little tirade. It basically started and ended on the same note, so you can assume with confidence that I knew where it was going the whole time!
