Thought we were supposed to be done with this

February
26

I figured that with the Pennsylvania groundhog not seeing his shadow, we wouldn’t be in for six more weeks of winter – and that was almost four weeks ago. Guess neither he nor I were right. Still, I thought we ought to collectively count our blessings in the Lower Hudson Valley when we stop and think what we could have gotten this year. Check out a photo that a friend sent to me showing a northeastern section of Canada. Not sure of the date. Some people were sending this around saying it was Oswego earlier in February, but that’s been found to be incorrect. (My apologies for not giving credit to the photographer. I don’t know who took the picture.) That made me feel a little better about the digging out we’ve done recently. I’m not even sure how they were able to plow that road. oswego.jpg

    Steve,
    Yeah, I remember a March 17th storm in Michigan that left me stranded on I-94 outside Ann Arbor. I at least had enough gas to turn the car on and off during the night so I could actually sleep, but it wasn’t fun. Actually, the worst I’ve seen since moving here in 1980 was 1996. Remember those 17 or 18 storms we had right after the first of the year. Ouch! I didn’t even have to go to the gym that month. My shoulders were too tired from shoveling. Watch out for this snow if your’re shoveling; it was heavier this morning than it looked.
