Hmm... do you mind if I share a theory of mine?

I think that protection of the snow people (first invoked in 1711) came with a price of one human sacrifice from one of the three founding families. Every 100 years, a person from Snow Town is given up to become a snow person.

My theory is that Louise was chosen to be the sacrifice of 1911 but one of her suitors tried to prevent her from becoming a snow person, and but he became a snow person as well (this is why there are four snow people instead of three).

And like the suitor that tried to stop Louise, I had expected n.h.t. to become a snow person herself. Maybe that didn't happen or maybe we just haven't found her yet Crying or Very sad

Am so keeping Peg's blog open on my laptop today! Mentioned to Peg that "pine cones like pineapples are rare in having two sets of spirals, one going in a clockwise direction and one in the opposite direction" and just got this reply:

Peg Harmon in an email wrote:
We did make it through the night and look forward to the day ahead. I agree with you about the Magician's Pine Cone. It is something I didn't put together last night, but yes, it cannot be a coincidence that he gavet his symbolic cone to me and the way to the Upper Spiral is a Squall Path of Pines.

We are still coming to and just now making our plan to get over to N.H.T.'s to find her Father's Trunk.

I think we've got to see what's in the tool box before we move on the upper spiral. Ruthie is out looking for it, assuming she didn't freeze over night, and we're going to need to have all of our ducks in a line (as in have all the information) before we go, or it could be very dangerous.

Sounds pretty right to me. I was thinking similarly as far as human sacrifice to the snow people to retain the protection. Protection from what, I'm not sure. I think the sacrificed person becomes the additional snow person since the have increased in numbers by 1 every time. The person who tries to interfere probably just ends up at the bottom of the lake, lol. So yeah, very similar theory. Smile

I have a feeling some of you Virtual Book Club types are part of the vigilante "from away" organization set on stopping our Snow People. If you are, I would like to warn you. As I type this, Ruthie Randolph has set out to find the Upper Spiral. When she succeeds, I am told it will accomplish two objectives. The first, Ruthie will insure the return of the Snow People to Snow Town in 100 years and their spirit will continue to protect us from any and all invaders. The second, before they leave tonight, the Snow People will take their revenge on any Snow Town Citizen who has betrayed them before the final church bells ring at midnight. You can't go against these lunary, snowy beings. They will have the last word.

Not sure when Peg posted on her blog, that she was on her way out to take down the Snow People. I sure hope she hurries, she only has about 8 mins before the New Moon.

Just judging off comment times, I think it was about an hour ago. She should be getting back soon.
