    Guys I think that amount of snow you enjoyed is more than we've had here the entire winter! Which is kind of a bummer. Other parts of the US i.e. the west has seen loads and loads. (such as California). Looked so fun going sledding! I had one ages ago and definitely made use of it...not on any mountains but just a gently sloping backyard. lol Hope your colds have made the rounds and leave you be!
