From Dutchess Co.N.Y. So far we've gotten about 7 inches Five of which I shoveled off this am. Then the little extortionists with their shovels on their backs descended into the neighborhood. They gleefully inform me they"d love to shovel the last 2 inches. One hitch tho' the price has doubled. WE are supposed to get 26 to 30 inches before it is over. I guess I'll take out a loan to pay the little buggers off. No chocolate in the house! Maybe I'll end it all. Slainte Maithe.
