Have you been following the news out of Atlanta, Georgia?  What a traffic snarl they had there after getting a couple inches of snow.  Sounds like nobody took the storm warnings seriously.  I guess we all need to be aware that just because a storm hasn't been "that bad" in recent memory doesn't mean it isn't going to be now.  Lesson learned, I think.

We've had emails today from Fred's brother, Tom, out in Colorado where they're getting a foot or more of snow dumped on them in the Beaver Creek/Denver area.  The ski resorts are happy.  Ellie sent a picture from their ground level condo.  She says it's beautiful, and since both she and Tom are native Vermonters, they're taking it in stride.  I think Colorado has been unusually dry recently, so having this snow in the mountains will be a big help, come spring.  Too bad it isn't positioned to help the drought in the states west of them. 

If you haven't been checking the web cams lately, now is a good time to do it.  Today there was lots of fishing activity, and some about in front of the Rossi home where the cameras are located.  Remember you need to access the Joe's Pond website using Internet Explorer as your browser.  You'll see cars, snowmobiles, fishermen, shanties, and maybe an occasional walker or x-country skier.  And the weather is going to continue to be spring-like, so it should be a great weekend at the pond.
