Now, what are we to expect this year, as we had a beautiful February ? Gateways from some of the pri- vate driveways to the highway would make good ski jumps, they are so high, having been filled in by the snow plow. The fields, as never be- fore in memory, are just evenly filled all over with fence posts sticking up here and there, as there has been lots of snow but not much wind to drift the snow from the middle of the fields.
