Now everybody just needs to drive safely and not on their phones! People have a hard enough time driving around here when roads are clear.

Does anybody else feel like it's just too early in the season to be talking about snow?

and on rt 9. And thanks to all the highway workers, snow plow operators whether gov't or private, ambulance drivers and all other first responders.

It's not bad yet but when it gets bad you won't have time to read this thank you so I'm sending it out early.

People, if you see one, buy them a cup of coffee or something to show your appreciation.
