Here we are again, dealing with snow, snow and more snow. This is the third and last (I think) time Fred will be out to snow blow today. It's coming down fast enough so he wants to do the driveways so it won't be such a big job in the morning - and if there were an emergency, it would give vehicles a better chance to reach us if there isn't a foot or more of snow in our drive. You never know. It's hard keeping ahead of it, but at least there doesn't seem to be a stiff wind blowing it around - not yet, anyway.

The temperature has come up a little, but still only around 20 degrees, so no icing or melting going on here at Joe's Pond. There have been some accidents out on Rt. 2 and Rt. 15, though - not too serious as far as I can tell from the scanner, but it's easy to slip off the road when it's like this. The plows have a tough time keeping ahead of things and the snow covers up the sand as soon as they spread it.

Not much traffic on the roads, though. I can see a few cars on Rt. 15, but not as many as usual - some folks went home early, I'm sure, and nobody is out on the road unless they have to be to get to work or back home. We'll dig out from it all tomorrow.
