The Blizzard of 2015 turned out to not be a huge catastrophe, but

Image Enlarger

There are sidewalks running left and right that still need to be cleared, currently covered with over two feet of snow. That Sears $300 snow blower is still chugging along after 10? years. It can't handle this kind of snow all by itself, I just chop the snow down to 8-10 inches deep then let the snow blower do the work

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

All of our snow is piled up too, and it will melt eventually.

OTOH, the blizzard does give the opportunity to sit in the living room, watch the snow fall, enjoy a few frosty beverages, and make this sage and learned observation:

"Huh, snowin' pretty hard now"

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Our 80 degree weather today will afford me the opportunity to sit on the porch drinking a few cold ones and observing that..."nice to see all the ladies walking around in shorts and t shirts.

We have had the most mild winter in my area in years. I think I have only shoveled 5 or 6 times this year, very unusual. I love it!!
