   Sure is.. I cancelled a doc. apt. today in Binghamton becase I just didn't   
   feel like the hassle :)  But I agreee that must be their reasoning - would not   
   pay to run that gigantic thing real often :)   
      
   In Windsor there were just county trucks with your normal sized snow-plow; we   
   haven't had that many snow storms of "note" so I'm having trouble remembering   
   how often Windsor was plowed :) Luckily we only go out maybe once a week or so   
   for food shopping :) When we run out of milk or bread we run to Dandy-Mart   
   down the street, place is handy now and then    
      
   Today, I'm not sure how much we got but it seems like a lot... it started   
   around 8am, much earlier than predicted around here, and continued all day.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
