Well, we got a doozy of a snowstorm December 16/17! Probably a good 18 inches or so. It started Wednesday afternoon and finished up about 11:00 am Thursday. We live in the Pocono Mountains of PA ... our elevation is about 2000 feet. Goes with the territory, I guess. We haven't had a big snow like this, though, for quite a few years. 6-8 inches is usually the norm. Easy enough to handle the smaller amount, but this time we needed a plow guy! We had 2 on the line to plow, but then neither of them showed! Grrrr ! My stepson and a friend shoveled the driveway and it took them quite awhile.
Don't know if anyone is familiar with the Pocono Mountains of PA, but up here, it is SKI & INDOOR WATERPARK RESORTS ... Heaven! CAMELBACK, GREAT WOLF LODGE, KALAHARI to name a few. Every place is pretty much booked right through Christmas week. The COVID-19 Pandemic obviously hasn't scared away the tourists. Lots of our regular restaurants & diners are now TAKE OUT - ONLY. Still very busy. And fast food places (take out) like McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Wendys, Dairy Queen, and KFC are SUPER busy. We do take-out ever so often, but we do cook mostly at home.
I posted some of our "Big Snow" pics for your viewing pleasure ... OR ... displeasure. I was watching the weather news a little while ago, and less than a week ago it was 60 degrees! Now, it's in the 20's and feels like 10! And WINTER hasn't even technically arrived !!!!
