Meantime, we have a County snow blower and some but not much snow melt. We need a shovel volunteer to clear the layer of snow that the blower misses, and to spread snow melt.

The shovel brigade will clear:

• The Community House walks, steps and our handicapped access ramp.

• Major routes to school

• Walks of those who can't do it for themselves. We know some of you, but you should call or email Randy anyway.

• A section of the W&OD trail from Columbia Pike to 7th Street and perhaps up to the spur to Park Street. That's a maybe.

If he's out using the snow blower and you get the answering machine, try his cell phone: 703-975-9392. It's on vibrate on snow days, but he may miss it if the blower is running.

Here is Barcroft in the Great Snow of 1996.
