A wonderful program.  I bet that some folks in that age bracket do have  a difficult time dealing with the snow.

It’s kind of interesting to see what types of programs exist in other areas. We have no snow removal assistance here, but I’m wondering if some of the beach areas have sand removal assistance. J♪♫♫♪

That's a great idea, providing the government has the money.  I know from our last snow storm how expensive snow removal can be.
