    That's great news. I thought the snow on the W&OD wouldn't fully melt until April at this rate. There are LOTS of fallen trees on the trail, so that'll be a challenge for the folks doing the plowing.

    I noticed today that the W&OD trail has been plowed, just in time for a fresh dusting of snow tomorrow night. Looks like a lot of the fallen trees have been moved as well. Progress is being made ... yes!

    I'm so SICK of snow! We had a snow day this week, but what we really need is a snow week! Driving a school bus in it is becoming extremely tedious!

    Talking

    My husband was watching the news and saw that we have had the most snow in the country for the year - 118 inches! that is 9.83 feet nana nana nana!

    Yeah, like I really want to have that distinction! I'm so tired of snow

    Spoke - My heart goes out to you. I bet it's gotten to the point where you say, "oh, we're only getting six inches of snow tonight, no problem."

    I was boggled yesterday when they started trucking away some of the snow piles on the side of my street... They were half melted or more already... why bother at this point?

    Let me know... Although, I went the friday after the 2nd "blizzard' and was sooo aggravated at the place. I'm thinking about going to Crested Butte end of March.

    The snow's melting pretty fast. I was overjoyed when Rosemont melted enough to be 2 lanes in both directions.

    You getting any snow coverage today? The highway signs say don't go to western MD, 'cause there's blizzard conditions.

    Gambrill is lesss than 8 miles from me. Weather there is different.

    It doesn't immediately follow that we're 8 miles apart and the weather is the same when there's Catoctin ridge or whatever that is between us and another line of ridges on the other side of you.
