Dave,

Here it's maybe 6" of snow but after the snow it rained for about 6 hours,
then turned to sleet and snow. Now everything is glazed over in ice. Just a
short matter of time before the white pines shed their limbs in a chain
reaction calamity.

There used to be a big mahaff (big shot) further up the street but he moved
and the township doesn't plow the road like they used to.

And the way things always are, once I finally get to the main roads, you'd
never know there was snow!

I wish the deer would graze on driveway snow instead of just laying around
on the patio!
