    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.
