I grew up in an area that got it's fair share. As a kid loved it, as an adult I am ok with it until it is lingering and gets looking all nasty. Then I am done with it. Oh and I am done with any snow that falls after the end of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 One of our snow shovels has been missing since yesterday morning- it appears someone must have stolen it overnight that night when I left it out in the front yard.

Perhaps but I get sick and tired of people complaining about how cold winter is or snow - blah blah blah. Just like the whining here when there is no snow. The solution is the same! MOVE! I wouldn't mind moving to a place that gets more snow, at least 100% probability of a White Christmas. Problem is I don't like the bitter cold (below zero F with no wind) too much. Here I ride ATVs when working outside. There it would be snowmobiles. Which is very cool (literally) but I want summer too. My wants are a paradox with most, however. As I get older I'm becoming more intolerant of heat, especially humidity. 70F dewpoints and higher completely intolerable. I like wind and/or storm events that knock out the power but not for too long. Of course, as Mister Murphy dictates, the longer sprints without utility power always occur when my wife is amidst a baking/cooking spree AND the laundry hampers are overflowing. See we use standby and backup generators here and can live off grid for quite a while if needed. And that's fine and dandy but generator power is about a dollar a kilowatt hour vs. 3 to 13 cents depending on if the sun shines or not. I'd love to be a lighthouse keeper in Ireland. All sorts of weather and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris78 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 At the bears game tonight with my 7 year old son. Bears up 2 - 0 after one and already had a glove dropping so far with a big skirmish at the end of the period. Might be fire works in the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
