That's a nice view Gary, winter seems to be coming round early for some of you folksLooking out over our back yard. It's looking like fall out there. We'll be getting our first snow soon.
But Spring is right around the corner!That's a nice view Gary, winter seems to be coming round early for some of you folks
Thanks Jack. We've been 40+ years. That view we have is a good part of the reason.That's a nice view Gary, winter seems to be coming round early for some of you folks
But it's a long dark cold road until that corner!
It sure seems like 9 months here too!About 9 months away here, at least!
It's certainly worth staying for Gary
Yeah, I thought we had it bad here, but it's rare to get snow in October
It's actually been pretty nice this week
 news fact of dubious distinction. Cities with a population of at least 50,000.It's certainly worth staying for Gary

Exactly! I used to have a snowplow service when I was working and had to be out the door at 7am. When I retired, at 61 yrs, 11 years ago I decided to snowblow and shovel. 11 years of that is enough. I hired a snowplow service for this winter. Two or three days a week my son and DIL drop off their kids at 7:30am or so. Sometimes the snow has been so deep they can't get in the driveway. I'll be danged if I'm going to get up at 5am to clean the driveway!Wow!

A pic from a few years ago. Not a big snow that morning.
Is the snowplow service expensive?
3 or 4 gec knives a season. That's if you get them on a drop.Crikey Gary, that really sounds like a lot of work
I did wonder when the GEC standard for currency would become the default unit round these parts3 or 4 gec knives a season. That's if you get them on a drop.
It's pretty to look at, but I do not miss having to shovel and snow blow. We moved to NC 15 years ago, and maybe got two storms a year that might leave a couple inches which will melt away in a couple days. I have fewer back problems since the move as another thing to be thankful for.Exactly! I used to have a snowplow service when I was working and had to be out the door at 7am.

I remember clearing the snow one year. My back was killing me the next day, and all the snow had melted!
It is always the worst when the snow is the wet heavy variety.

Definitely, but it's got to the point that if I drop a coin on the floor, I check the value, and calculate if it is worth the risk of putting my back out picking it up!
That's a LOT of snow, Gary!
