May 2021

I'm in Northeastern New York and we often have a flooding problem in these parts - not to mention a whole lot of snow. The first winter storm of last season left 34 inches, shut everything down for a day, and that was only the beginning. We even had more snow one very strange day about a month ago. And then there was last Wednesday, we had a severe storm. I happened to have a appointment and in less than an hour I drove home to see branches on the roads and even one very large tree uprooted. When I hear about Western states experiencing drought, I wish that we could send them some of our excessive rain and moisture.
