    Nice photos. One correction- the super duper plow is not a State plow. State plows don't have municipal plates on them.

    Kudos to the city public works department and staff for responding in exemplary fashion. In this time of government dysfunction our city works and works well.

    And the last photo is sun and moon at the Neighborhood Preschool on Lawn Avenue...some fond memories there.

    Thanks for the winter tour!

    I love the pics, but could they be in a slide show format next time?

    Thanks for the correction on the snow plow. Someone (who does not work for the city, gave me incorrect information) Cathy--the sun and moon photo comes from my front porch on Church, I will have to look for the same on Lawn Ave. It reminds me of the wonder and power of Mother Nature! Ed or someone else will have to email off line with a tutorial or link that describes how to set up as a slide show.
