Despite the heavy March 19 snowfall, there were several errands around town that  couldn’t be put off. Driving Routes 11 and 4, and secondary roads such as Plains, Switch, Chase Hill, Old College, Cilleyville, and others, I was struck by how effectively the storm was being fought.

I wouldn’t have wanted to travel the same distance on the roads of New Jersey, my old home state, in the same weather.

Nice work, snowplow folks.
