Hi Neighbor,
Wow. That was a good, old fashioned nor’easter the other day. Brutal cold. Punishing wind. Blowing snow. The whole winter package.
Reminded me of storms we wax nostalgic about when we were kids. The storms that get a little more ferocious in every telling.
Funny thing . . . no matter how old we are, no matter how young, the storms always were more severe, the temperature always much colder, the snow always much deeper when we were kids.
