We have a farm a couple of miles from HCR’s place in Maine. Be happy to host a dinner in our orchard!

Did you get much snow? Here in NY theres between 2 & 3 feet right now - lucky its light & fluffy but really after a certain point - no place to put it! My son will be over to plow me out but hes waiting for the Town to plow the roads - Its been a long long time since we had this much snow.

Wow, that’s a LOT! Are you in the lake-effect western NY area or in the mountains? In Waldoboro (Maine) the proximity to yhe ocean suppresses huge snows (for the most part), so only half a foot or so today. 🤗

Someone over here said 14", but Buddy thought that was high. I went for a long walk on the unplowed roads and it was a big mistake. They were hideously slippery. A snowplow was in the ditch, which can't be a good sign! :)

I saw on the news that Endicott NY had 40" & thats about 30 minutes away from me so went out with a measuring tape!!! & I was low - its about 38-40" here as close as I can tell (hard with a tape) - I'm in Southern NY close to the NY-PA border.

There used to be a wonderful essayist at USA Today, I think, who wrote essays about upstate New York, especially in the snow. We were just talking about him today.

There sure is much to write about with this snow! I shoveled a path for Axel (dog) because its about twice as high as he is - hes very frustrated we cant get up back to walk - it might be a while.

I’m from L.I. NY. We only got 6-8 inches of snow, but it was heavy, ice crusted snow. I’m living on Aleve since yesterday:)

That was such a nightmare. It just wouldn't stop coming down and it never melted. My daughter and I had to shovel the roof almost every day.

You had to shovel your roof?!! The very idea blows me away!

Oooh! That sound nice. Maybe in the fall. By then, we might all have access to vaccines.
