Roy,
from all of us in PA, we will always be glad to welcome you back! And we will stop speculating on the matter.
We're expecting a few inches of the white stuff shortly, but unlike where you are in VT, it's
more of a rarity, or to my wife and all the other little kids, a treat.
My first job out of college in 1971 was with a food company with training at a college in VT. In the winter.
I thought it was amazing, it snowed almost every day and luckily I had grown up in what was then "country" and snow
didn't stop anyone. You had sand in your trunk and snow tires on the car. And the sand would invariably get broken and make a mess, until
you wised up and put it in a plastic bag... So with a bag of sand in my car and Firestone snow tires on my car, off I went at the crack of dawn in the snow
getting to work, fiddling with the headlights to see if high beams really were better, or just created more glare in the heavy snow.
Good gloves, a good scraper, a hat and boots were surely the equipment of the day.
My memory was that they cindered the roads more than salted them, as the roads would build up quite a layer of packed snow.
Snow seems to make the landscape look unspoiled, ready for a new beginning.
Only 29 here, but the nights have gotten cold, and winter is truly setting in.
Since cold air drops, I know you sent it our way. Thanks.
