A NOTE FROM THE FORUM EMAIL COORDINATOR:
Hello. I hope this finds you well. I was able to get outside quite a bit last week to first shovel all the newly-fallen snow and then re-arrange it when more snow kept piling on top of my snow piles. Then just when I thought it had all stopped, the snowplows thoughtfully carved us some giant snow berms to deal with. Made for an interesting Saturday night, I can tell you. Speaking of interesting and activity, why not check out the Bulletin Board. There is sure to be something of interest and if not, I'm sure my driveway needs more shoveling by now ... --Denise Small
