We rarely get enough to need a snow blower but I moved the snow shovel to the front of the garage just in case. So far we have had .02 inches and that's about all I really need.

I usually would have used my snow blower at least once by now. We don't have long, bitter winters here, but we do get some good dumps from time to time. This example is from March 2014 - a late snow.

Sheesh you guys have it easy eh. up here not only does the snow land sideways - and stick! but with the metric system, we get 30 cm for every foot you get, AND while you have to contend with 32 deg weather we have to live with 0 deg!!!!

I did spend 3 years in Pittsburgh defending against the Russian bombers. Got there in early summer. It snowed the day before Thanksgiving and we never saw the ground again until after Easter. Also, the steel mills were still going full tilt in those days and within days the snow was mostly black or at least gray. That was when I got all the snow I needed.

I spent a summer up on Baffin Island and northern Labrador doing site surveys for the North Warning (Dew Line Replacement) system - thank goodness it was summer!

I had the pleasure of getting to spend a day at Kirkwall this past July. We decided to take a Viking Ocean cruise to Norway, mainly because it included stops in Lerwick, Shetland Islands and Kirkwall, Orkney Islands. We had been watching the TV series "Shetland", and I had wanted to visit the Orkneys as soon as I had first learned about Skara Brae. Even on a rainy day, this 5000 year old village proved to be as amazing as I had hoped, and Norway was interesting too.

when I was a young man I went to the Orkneys to visit the relatives and see from whence I came . During my visit I spent time alone at Skara Brae. I mean alone, no guide, no barrier, nothing but a fence to keep out the sheep. I sat and looked upon the ocean and felt a calming peace and a connection with the past that I had not yet experienced and may never again.

Last year we spent a week on Shetland. A dear friend was the minister in Lerwick (she just retired and moved back to Canada) - it was more interesting in every possible way than we would ever have expected - we felw in from Iceland - so lots of Viking lore! The church manse backs onto the police station so, lots familier as we watched Shetland!
edit - and we were there for the Brexit vote - amazing!
