Tis a lovely site to see. I must have enjoyed the storms have so many pictures of them. Are you all too young to remember about 1936? an ice storm in Jersey over the 5 ft. drifts? It was so hard we could sleigh ride over the ice. It even held us to walk on it. Driving a bus on snow was a snap, but ice was terrifying as my runs were all hills.
