Blizzard Juno and Gloucester Tamed It!

Weathermen from all around said a beast is coming. Packing high winds and heavy snow yet the City of Gloucester was up to the task. After the last flake fell there was 31' on the ground and drifting all over. By sunrise most of the main roads were cleared. Back in 1969 we were hammered by a 41" snow fall and it paralyzed the city. Power was out for a better part of a week, no school for two weeks and the National Guard was called in with heavy equipment. This time it was Gloucester that was the beast!
And as I type another snow storm is on our doorstep!
