It started snowing here at 9pm last night and we have 6-7 inches

It did Vic. Don't have access to my old photoshopping software (Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 on Windows Vista) at the moment so I am having to play around with some other free  software, Paint 3D, and it is challenging but does help fill in some time. It started snowing in the NE this morning so we have our first snow of the season, about  1 1/2 inches

I understand Alan, My windows Vista is on old computer but not on line, can't beet some of those old programs. Steady daily snow 2-3" here, -20c keeps the mosquitos away.
