Two months ago today, it snowed and snowed and snowed; and it wasn’t just for a day, but for nearly four straight days that the skies remained gray under a stalled low-pressure system, where the wind howled, and drifts of ten feet in depth – that blocked traffic into and out of my neighborhood for nearly a week – were left in the wake of the continuous northwest gusts.
