    NB>> Nice. One of the things I like about living in the north is that one   
    NB>> can still have snow on the ground long after one has cleared off things   
    NB>> from the storms... it doesn't just melt away right away... stays as a   
    NB>> nice winter blanket... :) What I don't like is the slipping on ice,   
    NB>> constantly clearing off the car to go somewhere, and similar hassles of   
    NB>> winter life... ;)   
      
    MH> This winter, we have had snow on the ground almost the entire time.    
    MH> It wasn't until just recently that I started to see the ground again.    
      
   Your winter has been more like one of our typical ones..  ;)  And, just   
   to make matters weirder, our last snowstorm, where we finally got maybe   
   24", the most we've had all winter, disappeared just about overnight,   
   like a Maryland storm normally would have..  ;)  The temps were into the   
   50's the next day!  :)     
      
    MH> I just checked, and we have had 14 different snowstorms this winter   
    MH> and a total of 69" of snow.  Fantastic!    
      
   Dunno what our total is... I should probably figure out where to go   
   check... ;)  We've probably had more than that, in our usually dribs and   
   drabs all winter, since I think our normal is somewhere around 100"+...   
   Now that I don't get a paper anymore, I don't get to see the little   
   blurbs about what the total so far has been... or how we stack up in the   
   Golden Snowball race (between Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester)...  I'm   
   pretty sure both of the other two are way ahead of us this year, but not   
   sure which of them is likely leading...  :)
