[Magdalen] Eastern USA weather

[Susan Hagen]

I'm ranting with you Jay.  After 10 years in New England, if I never
saw snow again I would be content.  This time is endurable because I
don't have to go out and drive in it.  I got wood in for the stove,
cleaned and filled the oil lamps.  I'll have to start shoveling in the
morning but otherwise intend to sit inside and watch what happens.
