The snowstorm was not near as bad as the 12-14 inches with widespread power outages that they predicted. We got about 6 or 7 and the power stayed on. My wife easily handled shoveling the snow but I made her come inside when the wind was gusting about 35 mph. I didn’t want her to lose the shovel to a gust of wind. After a couple of cups of tea and a small glass of brandy, she was fine.
