To the editor:

The “Big Storm” has come and gone, but left behind is a greater appreciation for the work our Department of Public Works does on a regular basis.

When I saw the amount of snow facing our workers, I thought it would take a week to put things back to normal. Obviously, I was very wrong. Every worker gave their all for the good of the village, and I applaud their efforts, as do others I have spoken with.

During the storm, those walking the streets were in good spirits and quite understanding of the difficulties related to snow removal.

Once more — to our DPW, job well done! Thank you.
