Sure is.. I cancelled a doc. apt. today in Binghamton becase I just didn't
feel like the hassle :)  But I agreee that must be their reasoning - would not
pay to run that gigantic thing real often :)

In Windsor there were just county trucks with your normal sized snow-plow; we
haven't had that many snow storms of "note" so I'm having trouble remembering
how often Windsor was plowed :) Luckily we only go out maybe once a week or so
for food shopping :) When we run out of milk or bread we run to Dandy-Mart
down the street, place is handy now and then 

Today, I'm not sure how much we got but it seems like a lot... it started
around 8am, much earlier than predicted around here, and continued all day.

Take care,
Janis
