We've all been watching the storm as it progresses up the Atlantic coast and thinking about our friends in that area.  Tonight we are happy to have a message from Tom & Camilla Dente in Connecticut.   We're glad they are ok - digging out tomorrow, no doubt, but no big problems.  Here's what Tom wrote:  

Hi Jane,
There is no shortage of snow in CT. Most of us in the mid to south part of the State have twelve or more inches of snow and more falling now. High winds have picked up and what's on the ground will be blown around and settled in places hard to get at and remove. 
Much better here though; JFK airport has twenty-seven inches on the ground. The news is don't expect air travel to get better until mid to late week. Washington, DC is a mess this time with snow. Two to three feet on the ground and not a good way to handle the snow. So CT came out pretty good all considered.
That's it from here,
Tom

As for what's going on here, I understand Ted Chase was out on the pond with his snowmobile today.  Ted likes to get out there as soon as possible - last year it was on skates when the ice was only a few inches thick and crystal clear so you could see to the bottom in places.  Ted likes to live on the edge . . .
