Snow is only a few inches. But It's been sticking around 'cause the temps have been low. :)
Still praying for some real snow!!!
But nothing would compare to what you have. :(

Good morning, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))...no snow yesterday, but some roads, like my neighborhood, really need the big blowers because in several places it has become 1 car wide. Are you past the bad weather?

We are looking at light scattered snow for the next couple of days. Then the temps are supposed to fall. Typical Jan-Feb pattern.
