Hi Jessy, I looked at the pictures of the snowfall! Wow, you were not kidding when you said you got hit hard. Chris said it brought back too many memories of past PA winters and shoveling for hours(although it seemed like days!!!). Hope everyone is prepared for a VERY White Christmas.
Talk to you soon and PLEASE keep the snow in the Northwest! Carol
