This is a great idea! They need to teach people in the city how it is done. They tell people they have to clear their walkways and then a plow shoves it back on. I also have seen them bury cars.

Our snow is all melted and we have a high of 45° today and it is still raining. It is like spring and my DH saw three robins yesterday!!

There is a cold front passing through, the temps are dropping rapidly and the winds have picked up. I am not happy!!

About 6 inches down so far and still snowing. I heard they closed the Shop Rite , Target's and Kohl's in fear of possible roof collapse.

That's a lot of snow Cliff!! I have been to Front Royal many times as a teenager, I baby sat for my aunt every summer and had a pass for a local community center where I lived at the pool. The Shenandoah Valley is a beautiful place. They later moved to Winchester, Va. they worked for Western Union.
