Who the fuck told you that they don't get snow?

No one told me they don't get snow, I said they don't get snow like they used to. I grew up with snowbanks as high as the 2nd floor windows, that's not the norm any more.

When I got my Jeep it had a electrical cord coming from the engine and I had no idea why.

What did you intend to say? Probably not a whole lot. I'm still pissed off at my second one.

He's so respectful of it. I'm glad it was an amazing experience for him. Truly. Not being sarcastic at all.

It's been a pretty mild winter here in SNAKEland (I HATE SNAKES) this year, the coldest it got was around "58" a few nights. Had to turn the heat on. And that was in December. Usually has been mid to upper 60's at night.

I don't know many people who view the wintertime like you & I do.
It's very cold again this morning, 19 degrees, it's gone up since I first got up earlier this morning. I'm under a winter weather advisory, snow is supposed to begin falling overnight tonight.
Oooh I hope you get some pretty snow. It is currently 24 and cloudy

Snowing again. I stood outside
And looked at the roof with the weight of the snow on it

It might be time to bring out the snow rake.

It started warming up and snow is sliding now. Neighbor said this house is sturdy and the snow amnt thus far is fine. So that's good. I don't think they have a snow rake here.
I snow shoes today. My body is sore.

You must be very fit. Snow shoeing is hard work!

LOL at my saying snow shoes and not snow shoed. I don't feel in as good of condition as the summer, but you could say I'm fit!
It wasn't many miles, some of it was uphill, some in my front yard and some stomping down the snow to the wood shed-
Last night the snow started falling off the roof finally and when it landed it shook the house, woke me up a couple of times. And now my path to the wood shed is covered, I should have known better.

Talked too soon, it was "49" degrees here this morning! Had to put the heat on.
