More scenes of the Winter of '14

Hugh and Dolores are spending some time at their place on Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Md., where pretty much every winter is a snowy winter. But like most of the Eastern U.S. this year, it seems especially snowy this year.

Hugh writes that Thursday's coastal storm - which wasn't expected to reach that far inland - nonetheless dumped a reported 23 inches on parts of the county.

"When we cleaned off the car, it looked more like 18 inches here at Arrowhead," Hugh writes. "However, another storm, this one from the west, brought another six inches or so over Friday night and into Saturday.

"Schools in Garrett County have been open less than 5 days since the first of the year!"
