SNOWMAGGEDON JAN. '17

We have set a record here for the most snow on the ground since 1892! And on the heels of it, we had record cold too!
These pix show 14 inches of snow, with a low of {minus!!!} -9!!

Since our local road management company doesn't plow residential areas, a lot of people in our neighborhood were stuck at home. Our HOA finally {!!} decided to pay for a private company to come in and plow ~ too little too late!
