Yes indeed – western NY has been pretty darn snow-starved for the last 2 or 3 years, at least! Maybe no drought this coming summer (fingers crossed)?????
We just had our first real snowstorm of the year and we are very grateful for the winter precipitation – and we love the romantic beauty.
We sure could use that here in Illinois/Wisconsin. We have about a 1/4 inch on the ground. Tuned my snow blower and everything this year. We had the drought and anything would help.
