New Storm Total

I just came in from shoveling my back porch to give all of you the totals for the last storm. We got about 4 light and fluffy inches last night. Shoveling is easy but walking is dangerous. We got just enough snow to cover the sheet of ice left by the last storm so you can't see where the ice is located until you slip on it. If you haven't been up to your home since last weekend BE VERY CAREFUL as you get out of the car and walk to the house!!! The ice is everywhere you are just not going to be able to see it!!

Proceed with caution up Woodland Valley Road once you get past Fawn Hill bridge. There are ice patches on the road that the highway department has been unable to clear. The other danger along the road is that the deer are coming down from the higher elevations. I went out for a walk yesterday and saw 3 different herds of 8-10 animals in an hour. So drive slowly and with caution.

Remember that a pile of sand/salt mix is located behind Town Hall and is free to residents. Just bring something to carry it in. So that's all for this public service announcement.
