This week’s edition of the Durham, NH, town newsletter, Friday Updates, called the major winter storm that hit New England on Wednesday, 12 January, a “Perfect storm”: “This Wednesday's snow storm was a ‘perfect storm’; plenty of notice, snowfall as predicted, contained within a day, no power outages or flooding, and adequate snowfall for sledding and outdoor winter activities.”
The storm significantly affected most of the residents of New England. Many people had the day off. Schools were cancelled, in several cases for two days. Many businesses were closed. Many of us spent a lot of time plowing, shoveling, and, in general, just cleaning up. Many of us also found time to get out and enjoy the snow in some way.
