Hi PeteMcP,
Hoping that the weather slacks off and starts to improve soon. The next worry will be flooding in the spring. I watch a lot of British programs and look at the roads that are what we would consider lane ways and always wonder what happens to people when the weather turns bad and closes everything down.
I watch a chaps blog on YouTube who lives in Wales. He went outside with his camera and walked down his long driveway and the main road through the village as the wind tried it's best to take him off his feet. He said the road was an "A" road but all you could see was a track between the trees along the side of the road and steep snow banks and not a car to be seen.
That brought memories back of living in the snow country. I think back of those days and considered it fun but not now. The lawn here needs mowing and all the early spring flowers are up. Looks like it may be a great day tomorrow so I can try and get something done.
My son lives on top of a mountain in Bennington, Vermont after 30 years in New Hampshire. Just barely double lane gravel tracks to get to where he lives. I lived in New Hampshire for ten of those years and most of them in a small town the mountains in the North of the state. Then in a stroke of genius I moved to Upstate New York for eight years.
We are equipped to live in those conditions though as has been mentioned. I hope you both make it through the storm safely. I guess the good feeling is that your not alone.
Steve.
