I grew up in Michigan so I know winter too. Ohio has it's share of snow . We are coming out of the latest storm. We had snow, freezing rain and sleet. It's down to snow today. We haven't seen bare ground since the beginning of January. It's beautiful but come on! Enough is enough.

Well, the big storm has quit and now more clean up is going on--they have run out of places to pile or dump snow-so it is a true mess here! One company got caught dumping huge amounts of trucked snow into a local river and will be fired, fined and who knows as the snow is contaminated and the river is a source of drinking water for certain towns! This was going on in the wee hours of the morning but they did get caught! I really wish it was spring but can only dream! Take care and pray, no more big storms until some of this melts or disappears! Helen
