I hope that the storms will end soon for those of you who are trying to dig out. We expect to have snow on the ground here six months of the year. Our town has the equipment to deal with it in a timely manner, but we seldom get the magnitude of snowfalls you people in the east are reporting.

It's snowing lightly now. Living in a redneck village has it's perks. We're the only family on our street of about 50 houses that doesn't have a pickup truck or a 4x4 SUV. By the time those vehicles have all passed by on their way to work, the snow is well packed on the road for our low passenger cars to manage.
