Most Snow

By now, the whole world has heard about the 11', 4" of snow that fell in Redfield, a small town in Oswego County, NY. A friend sent me these pictures claiming they were from Route 11 in Oswego, NY, several weekends ago. While I remain skeptical, they are impressive.

When I first worked in Watertown, I lived about 10 miles from Redfield, on a seasonal road, in a cabin with no electricity. I thought it was beautiful. It was December. The Tug Hill Plateau is infamous for it's winters and during a moment of sanity, we moved in to town, Adams, where history was born. History, which came in the famous names and impressive character of the reknown Adam R. Morehouse, Andrew P. Morehouse, Andrew R. Sienkiewicz, Charles G. Finney, the great evangelist and "America's foremost revivalist', and J. Sterling Morton, not the salt guy, the founder of Arbor Day.

Oh! man. That's a lotta snow. You and my dad should chew the fat. Living in a cabin with no electricty sounds like something he'd have done in his youth.
