"Now is the winter of our discontent"
                                  Shakespeare: Richard the Third, Act I, Scene I

 February 2015

We have just about the same amount of snow on the ground as we experienced in the
Buffalo Blizzard of '77 (59") which was more than twice the N.E. Blizzard of '78 (27").

Be sure to also check out March.


The walkway to the front door.
The snow pile by the door is 7 feet high.
All shoveled by hand!

The two lines out there are the tops of two benches.
We hope to get to them by summer.


Deck by the back door
Those piles are the results of roof raking.
