snow blows

February around here racked up a record 41-point-something inches of snow. Dorcas and the four braved a weekend get-away to our other family homeland, Grantsville, at 2,300 feet above sea level. Forty-one inches was nothing there. Here she and Stephanie stand outside the back door of the motel. In the Appalachian highlands snowfall totals are being measured in feet. A record-breaking 20 feet this winter. Joel photo
