SUMMARY OF 2011

On February 1 & 2, 2011 we had 16.7 " of snow which was the 2nd highest total for one storm (according to the QC Airport).  The drifts on our road were 10' feet high in places.  (See pictures.)  Luckily, we had our new 4-wheel drive maintainer, which made it through all the drifts.  John Weigel, Road Commissioner, went out on those evenings at 6:00 pm and helped a straneded motorist.  He had the roads cleared by the next night, February 2nd.
