it's ok, Doug...there is other stuff you get high & deep down there...*grin*...(and some of it gives ME a headache..;>))....

yep, snow is a mixed blassing...we need the moisture, and this will mely slowly, allowing ground water recharge., but WOW, it is wearying!...(and it brings out silly people who just do NOT get it...we have had 7-8 cars just barely make it to our 'corner', where the diverging streets get narrower & steeper, then get stuck and have to dif out and back up...(including a Humvee!)...why do people not realize that 8" of clearance and 18" of snow are not compatible? The street is beginning to get packed down now..(two ruts)...but the plows have not been by yet, and they will probably make it worse, as many people have dug out a little, and those banks they leave will just make everyone start over.
