Thanks a lot Mark for your this additional input.
I really appreciate it. In your initial e-mail you had mentioned that it is
rear to get snow that consists clean single flake. Well, I live in Boston,
Mass. I think it will be same story like your place- MI ?
Well, it is closer to Varmount, however, I never thought from that
perspective so far. AFter seeing your pictures, I started thinking on those
lines. What is your opinion, thought ? Though nearer to Vermount, MA and
MI should be getting same quality of snow ?
