Thanks for the pictures Jane. I remember those days from MA. I have a cousin in Alden, IA. Don't know if that's near you or not.

THESE PIX are mild compared to the deep snow in most places~~Just thought the linemen aspect was neat!!

When I was a little girl Jane, we would get some of those snows where you would be snowed in for days. The last time that happened was over 10 years ago. I keep telling some of my friends that moved here from NY and MN that we could get a big one and they just laugh at me. So somebody remind me again, how many day till Spring?
