[history]
We made it out to Olney today. Main roads were great after a week of cleanout. The State instead of just plowing, is putting the snow in dump trucks and hauling it away. That is one reason Snowmagedden 2010 seemed worst that this snow fall.
Also this snow fall was a light, dry snow that compacted to smaller mounds.
But, Lurker Jim's road was so bad early on 2 snow plows got stuck. The COUNTY cleared a single path with a front end loader.
About half of the snow is gone after some warm weather. The owner of the shopping center used a bobcat to clear the sidewalk up to the corner. On our left flank the sidewalk has 5 foot of plowed snow.
In attendance were Fraxinus, Lurker Bill, Lurker Jim and myself. Lurker Jim took the pictures.
Temp was in the low 30s, no wind, and a lot of sun. Perfect day for a FReep

Heard rumor, but never got even my own gut feeling that this beats Feb 6, 2010. Much less the whole season!

I take it that’s a reference to the Cruz shaming mailing.
To: gleeaikin
Yes.
Same authoritarian voice.
Same threats...

In liberal Monkey County, you beat we’re raising heck.
Olney is a fairly conservative. They had to jerry-mandier us to the neighboring county 8 miles away.
