Michael Greene tells us that in Boston where he is based they had 18 to 24 inches of snow recently and he forwarded a picture of a JCB clearing snow from a driveway.
Some cousins John Toher and Deirdre Fahy were caught up in the snow last week when they went to visit the Flannerys and Monaghans their cousins in Boston and to do a bit of shopping. The JCB would be useful for getting around.
