WINTER WONDERLAND

Margie took this picture of me. The yardstick said 20 inches. The snow on the ground read 25 inches. This was mid-Sunday morning.

While I went out for a walk, I saw Chris Santee was shovelling.

Main Hill. Where is everyone going on a day like today??
This storm kinda snuck up on us. There was no real warning. There was talk of a nor'easter, but then it was downgraded to a couple of inches a day here and there. Then it was a winter storm watch, then a warning. But there was no real urgency of plan to be prepared. I've seen other storms that are warned a couple days in advance so people can prepare. And then we only get a couple of inches.
When was the last time we saw sunshine? I mean real blue sky sunshine.
