There is no pic. It’s just a poem about a (somewhat) common sight in the historical copper and iron mining counties of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Large swaths of Victorian-era mining homes with a random 20th century home (or a vacant lot) here-and-there; indicative of a house fire at some point.

English snow, just “snow” /
even to Shakespeare ‘tis “snow” /
You! Coin something new!

*perhaps in 500 years “Lake Effect Snow” will evolve into “Lakiffit” or some such thing.

Good idea. An aside: Does anybody actually use MB-System?
