I kinda miss the snow.....not shovelling it though!

I hope it gets cold
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yep, I've done enough shoveling snow to last a lifetime - I'd rather cut grass.

My son & I spent yesterday clearing 18"+ of snow off the roof, can't have it up there when the rain comes today. What a nasty job that is.

GREAT Ysabel! Next summer you can come and cut mine!
One of my most detested chores....I let it go darn near to seed before I cut it! I'll take snow ANY day.

Since I'm not home most of the time (home for now being Sudbury, Ontario), I have a guy with a backhoe/front loader John Deere come by the place each time it snows to keep the driveway clear for my wife at $10 a pop.

If I'm at home I'll shovel it myself as I find it relaxing, especially if the snow is coming down in big, fat fluffy flakes. The neighborhood is usually so quiet then you can hear the flakes when they land. Of course when the wind is howling at a kabillion miles an hour that's a different story.

When I was a kid, I loved the snow for as long as it would last, the longer, the better. Now I need snow for Christmas Day. I want it gone the day after. I envy you....Merry Christmas, jd45

Yep I had to mow the grass also, that rain from last week made the weeds sprout up. I also had to get a cage up around my tomato plants and 1st phase fertilize pepper plants. I have Bouganvllea in bloom and Cape Plumbago in bloom. I have another week before my tangerines come down, then probably a month before grapefruit and oranges are ripe.

Sometimes I get down on living in Florida.

And then I talk to my friends and family in Virginia and West Virginia.

Don't laugh, it happens. Winter of '76/'77, I was stationed at Eglin AFB in the panhandle of Florida. Got up one morning to drive to work and it was cold. A few hours later it was snowing. Can you imagine, a buch of full grown firemen acting like kids, building snowmen and throwing snow balls in Florida.

WinM71, Do You have a roof shovel? I got one at the local hardware a few years ago.they have an aluminum blade and extension handel that extendes to 24'.You pull the snow down and it works well. We have had as much as 30" up there at one time. Jim.

Up here in the banana belt region of North Central Kansas, we have had ice on the ground, with some snow on top of that, and below freezing temps for about 2 or 3 weeks now. It's been bad enough that I have to keep my lever guns by the stove, warm them up, in order for them to function properly when I need to blast something outside.

You guys will never guess what I did today!
