 		Peg has updated her blog again. This time there's a special treat for Luci from Edward. For those who might not recognize the song, it's "Greensleeves". Also Peg promises a big update later with the information she got from NHT.

 		Wow, Luci was serenaded by Edward, lucky gal (http://www.snowtown.me/?p=390)! I don't know how you can resist meeting up with him in Snow Town at some point (maybe wait a while, though).

The fact that the song is Greensleeves (again) may mean something - is there more to the puzzle that we missed at first?

Also, Molly looks like she's having fun sledding at Thrill Hill (same link). I wonder if these pictures were taken today, because I had been thinking that Private might be Molly, but this makes it look like she's not.

[Just saw that enaxor updated with this info as I finished up this post!]

EDIT with new info:

I had left a comment on Peg's blog to find out more about Charles Gulliffer, one of the "library crowd" we haven't heard much about. I asked how old he is, wondering if he could be the Magician. Peg replied:

Quote:
Hi there Nedra!

I don't know Charles Gulliffer's exact age, but if I were to guess I would say mid to late 70′s.

Peg


In the Magician's tape, he said that Snow Town has been his home for over 80 years. So it's possible he could be Charles, and Peg is just a little off on his age. Also, he is not from one of the founding families (based on his name), so he might be more willing to go against the snow people.

 		Doublepost because I've got a reply from Peg!

Hey Peg,
I'm emailing you from Waterville, a couple hours down southeast of you; been following your blog for about a week now, ever since one of my friends let me know that weird "magical" things were happening in the Maine snow!

My subject line gives you a pretty good idea of how I feel about the Snow People--partially because they just sort of... appeared (out of the water?) around town. I thought to email you because yesterday we had a big snowstorm, and I was curious to know if you guys had one as well--what's more, if you did, I was curious if the Snow People got buried or if they somehow managed to stay separate from the snowfall and protected somehow. They haven't moved, have they? It seemed odd that something so stationary could do such a good job protecting Snow Town.

About a week ago I commented on your blog that I thought they appeared out of the water, but a lot has happened in the intervening time and several things have been learned about these chilling (lol) Snow People. Of particular interest is something that you said, actually (I think it was on your blog), which was that the first Snow Town families settled on the edge of Lake Williwaw. Combining that with your story from the beginning of February, when Fred disappeared into the night, walked out to the lake, and reappeared back at home without leaving footprints makes Lake Williwaw seem like a very strange place. Do you know where Fred's been going? More importantly, do you know if he could be going back to the Lake, as that seems to be of some importance to the Snow People?

You may also wish to ask him about Spiritualists, and "The Society." I believe they're the ones with the hidden tablets, and I'd be curious to know if he's been affiliated with them for longer than, say, a month (if he is, indeed, linked with these tablets). On a much-related note, what did Natasha Triplet tell you this morning? There are a number of things she emailed my friend Roxanne about, but I didn't have a chance to email you before now.

Hi there Dav!

The Snow People remained untouched by the recent snow. I will get some
more photos up for you guys tomorrow. The more I learn about these Snow
People, the more I agree with you! Snow People are creepy!

Lake Williwaw does seem to figure into all this. I don't know how or why,
but yes, Fred did walk down there and then seemed to just reappear back at
home. The fact that the footprints stopped there is what spooked me.

Fred and I have been talking tonight. I'm going to tell everyone about my
day with Natasha later, but this mystery just got very serious. I sat
Fred down and explained what's been happening to him. He's pretty shook
up. Lawrence is sitting with him. Poor Fred, he's so confused by this
idea of the Society and the Snow People. He may be the one with "the
hand" or whatever they call it, but he's not one of them. Just has a
blessing of some sort. And someone, it might have been Luci or Ama or
Enaxor, pointed out that Fred's messages so far have not been in support
of the Snow People. They're messages to help us find out the truth about
them. Might be Louise Hoskins coming through Fred.

That's not all for today folks!

Peg

the pictures of Claire doing the scarf dance... could it be related to The Semaphore Alphabet?

http://www.anbg.gov.au/flags/semaphore.html

I looked dbut could make anything of it. Maybe someone else can?

 		Wow, that sounds extremely plausible. Asking Peg for a video.

The photos could possibly be "LHNR", but there's clearly far more to the dance. If there's something meaningful about it we need to see the entire thing.

 		Virtual book club
Okay, I'm dealing with a time zone difference - web search tells me it should be 9pm Wed 1st March EST right now, but there's no link yet. Can someone in EST tell me when it will be (like = 1 more hour?). Or did I miss it?

thanks

EDIT - now up Smile

 		sooo ruthie had her book club,
it was kinda short...
she started with a song,
then she started talking about the story,
stopped and she said that she knows that we're trying to stop
the snow people..
then she said that she has something planned for us!!

NHT1: You must follow the given path to find the way to destroy them. It is written in the woods, my friends.

 		Book Club
Damn, I was all ready to talk about The Cask!

>The murderer pretends to be a friend to Fortunato, but really he has an unknown grievance and is bent on revenge. He pretends to give him what he most wants in order to lure him to his death. The victim is encouraged to get/stay drunk so that his senses are addled, makes him vulnerable and helpless to the attack.

My take:
The Snow People have an unknown grievance with Snow Town founding families. They pretend to help them, telling them to party, have fun, drink lots. All the while luring them to their deaths.

Song Ruthie played at bookclub http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0wqQe963A

Quote:
The Cask of Amontillado by The Alan Parsons Project
BY the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"

Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow

(What are these chains that are binding my arm?)
Part of you dies each passing day
(Say it's a game and I'll come to no harm)
You'll feel your life slipping away

You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the Crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone

(Spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away


OR this is Ruthie giving us her message - someone is (going to be) bricked into the Vault.

Is that how Louise went missing?

 		Peg has the box (given by nht), nht wants us to wait for instructions.
nht also says that ruthie "would never touch her", must have something to do with "the society". nht gave peg some protection somehow..
we have to follow "the given path to find the way to destroy them. it is written in the woods"" we will find the lower spiral and continue from there"

Luckily, Ustream archived the whole thing so everyone that missed it can watch it here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13033087

Spooky! I'm worried about Peg! Maybe we should suggest that she not be so open about what she's doing?

 		Peg's findings should probably have stayed in email correspondence with us from the start...

But now this is her part. All we can do is wait.

 		Well darn. Note her talking about unreliable narrators. Probably something worth noticing there.
