We have managed to recover nicely from our three feet of snow, with one of our residents posting her yardstick on Facebook to prove it.
  We have three tertiary roads in the neighborhood, Cockerill, the east end of North Fork ansd the south end of Shelburne-Glebe. These are plowed after primary Lincoln and secondaries North Fork and the north end of Shelburne-Glebe. At one point, Shelburne-Glebe was closed due to drifting by Oakland Green, and was only one lane until the weekend before school resumed.
  The North Fork kids, always happy to have good sledding days, got sick of it fast and missed their friends at school. Parents were tearing their hair out trying to come up with indoor activities.
    Most everyone did not lose power, but down at the end of Cockerill, the three houses were dark for almost a week.  Since the Harter household includes a barn full of horses, it was particularly difficult for them.
  Thanks to Ian Tillman once again for polowing out neighbors. After the plowing ceased, Ian toook off for a few days of rest and relaxation in Florida, a road trip with dog Max well-deserved. He is now back and ready for the next storm.
  Thanks to Doug Wagstaff, who came over wit his chain saw to help Ed cut up two 30-foot pines that fell out by the barn, giving us some nice wood for next winter.
  As of today, Feb. 22, we have only six inches of hard-pack on the ground and another day above freezing. Whooppee!
