You’ve probably noticed that when you are out to dinner with friends, the topic of other restaurant meals is a common one.  So it is with snowstorms.  As New England wrestles with the first major snow in four years, what are we talking about?

That time we got 32” on top of earlier snow.  Only emergency workers and physicians were allowed to drive as I recall, but I managed to get a ride to my job with a neighborhood doctor friend.
