The first real snowfall of The Winter of 2022-23 took place Sunday, when it began snowing at midmorning and didn't ease up until after midnight.
How much did we get? Your guess is as good as anyone's. The final say is up to the scorekeepers at the National Weather Service and the "weatherbeings" at our various local TV stations who love to brag about their accuracy while never issuing corrections -- only "updates."
What is most important is that Tim, our snow removal guru, showed up around 3 a.m. Monday and cleared the driveways. (See photos, and don't ask what I was doing up at that hour. Hint: seeing to your wellbeing.) All seemed to be going well when we spoke, so I finally went to bed. However, like you I awoke to find that the sidewalks were not cleaned. I'm attempting to speak again with Tim to find out what happened.
The City plow truck came through last night and again around 10:45 this morning to clear the main roadways.
Thanks to everyone for being sure the driveways had no vehicles that might have blocked snow removal. Such joint efforts are needed throughout the winter.
Meanwhile, stay warm, stay safe, and -- for those who have signed up and paid for reservations for Thursday's "Holiday Luncheon" at McGreivey's in Waterford -- stay in the holiday mood. We'll see you then!
