Hey, I see I have some new company in my area--YooHoo!, I'm 1 hr north of NYC in upper Westchester County. Hi! We've had 2 days off from school in a row. The roads have been a mess & we've shovelled several times & our backs hurt, but we've probably only had about a foot of snow, total, so far. It's been nasty shovelling, though--ice-crusted or slush-heavy. The snow days have allowed me to catch up on life, but I'm surely looking forward to spring. Did try a new tune on the autoharp yesterday, since I had some extra time! :)bbc (electricity's holding nicely, but the Internet connection is annoyingly flaky!)
