The Thaw (Return To Exertion)
Our long local nightmare is over. At long last, the streets, sidewalks, and yards are free of snow and ice (aside from a few of my north-facing neighbors, who still have a bit of snow in their yards). The legacy of the blizzard is some damaged roofs (my gutter is sagging again) and [...]
