When we moved to New Jersey in 1986 we called it the snow capital of the world, we had a snow plow guy that would plow the driveway early in the morning so I could get out early for work.
Those were the days, over the last few years we have not had much accumulation.
Welcome to 2021 – following the epic 2020 year!
We had the big snow storm of about 14 inches on February 1, 2021.

We had a few more inches on Sunday, February 7. 2021
More snow is expected later in the week.
On Tuesday, February 2, 2021 I was shoveling a path to the flag pole and the neighbor Kyle asked me if I needed any help, he has a small 4×4 with a nice sized plow on front, I asked him to clear the area by the mail box because the mail man had not been able to reach it on Monday. I had cleared a good part of it. He got it cleared to the curb and we have been able to get our mail since the next day.

It is good to help a neighbor when you can, I have gotten to know the neighbors from the cookie deliveries and we do look out after each other, which is very nice.
The snow does look very pretty but we do look forward to spring and summer. However, live for today and enjoy the moment we have together.
Be well and stay safe!!!
Maybe it’s time to think about a warmer climate – just saying. Thank God you don’t have to be going out in this weather, unless you have to. I feel so sorry for anyone having to travel in that weather. I’ll bet that looking out into your yard, it’s a beautiful scene and very serene. Glad you have great neighbors. Thinking about you, both.
