At least here so far ithe storm hasn't been as bad as predicted, starting later than expected and with warmer temperatures, so right now we have about 7" of heavy wet snow with a smaller amount of snow still expected for a few hours. Since the prediction was for as much as 14" we are OK, especially since almost everything has been canceled for this morning or for the whole day. I am hoping that we keep our power, but the power companies are ready since I passed a bunch of trucks from out-of-state companies headed north yesterday. Living where I do, this is not unusual for this time of year so most folks take it in stride, despite the alarmist weather folks, and have backup heat and a generator at least to share with neighbors. One nice aspect of late winter storms is that warm soil will drain well and warm daytime temperatures will melt it relatively quickly, so worries about mud and drainage for gardens isn't much of an issue. When we have frozen ground and a good melt, we have " mud season" which can last for a couple weeks and can mire a vehicle in the middle of some of our dirt roads if it gets really bad.

Jasdip////Do YOU have that local's permission to post their photo? Please only post photo's YOU have taken or a family member has taken of say YOU. Otherwise it's just another photo taken off the internet.....and saying it's off the internet. NOT COOL! Here are the guidelines for posting on THIS thread: What goes on here? The guidelines are: these threads are to share photos *you've* taken. It is not about posting photos others have taken. Please don't just pull something off the internet and say "it's off the internet" or use your camera to take a photo of a photo on the internet. Not cool! Please know the source of your photo. If you did not take it then credit the photographer who gave YOU permission/family member/friend who did. Posting a picture you haven't taken should still be personal in some way, such as, my son took this picture on our vacation or husband took this photo of me. this is not a photography contest about the quality of the photo, so everyone is welcome from beginner to pro, whether using fancy equipment or a cell phone while there may be a theme for the day suggested by the initial photo, it is not necessary to follow that theme it is suggested that you put no more than 5 photos per post. One or two are optimal providing a caption isn't required, but it can be helpful for others viewing your picture these threads are meant to be a respite from the craziness in the world, so posts/topics that are potentially controversial, contentious or upsetting are discouraged By following these guidelines, it is hoped we can keep the atmosphere here pleasant and welcoming which will encourage us to share our experiences while enhancing our creativity and our ability to notice and appreciate the world around us and our fellow posters. Thank you for your participation and cooperation. Happy shooting!

Leslie Odom, Jr. (Aaron Burr) stole the show. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a brilliant songwriter, but he can't really sing. I prefer the actor we saw, Jevon McFerrin (yes, Bobby's son) who has a great voice. King George's songs are some of my favorites. The close-ups of him were really wonderful. But what the filmed version can't fully capture is the brilliance of the staging. There's a big difference between sitting on your couch watching a screen and sitting in a darkened theater looking at an actual stage. I long for the time when Broadway can reopen safely.

Here's another one I almost forget. I did buy a 45 copy of this when it was new The Sunrays, imitating The Beach Boys.
