It is amazing, how if you don't get this kind of weather often enough, you don't have the equipment. <BR/><BR/>I remember in La Crosse, Wisconsin once years ago they had 17 inches at one time and the paper the next morning said "We've Had It!"<BR/><BR/>Gorgeous, gorgeous pictures!marsh to the forehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077038843846480659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-55315799211946366252009-03-03T12:32:00.000-05:002009-03-03T12:32:00.000-05:00Jen - if there's ice, the SUV doesn'thelp much but...Jen - if there's ice, the SUV doesn'thelp much but yeah - Todd's got a huge truck that can make it in and out of our drive, which is why I usually end up shoveling. I look at it and know if I don't, I'm going to be pushing the stupid van up it!<BR/><BR/>Heidi - it is all about equipment. This area can't afford to keep the kind of trucks and supplies it need to clear roads quickly if we only need them a few times a year. It is nice getting days off here and there, but the kids are off again today and I am now at the point of saying, "enough already!"<BR/><BR/>Bob- it's all relative. If I lived in FL I'd be complaining about the 47 degrees too! The photos came out terribly here... I may try to upload them again.Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-17692567633763594722009-03-03T09:30:00.000-05:002009-03-03T09:30:00.000-05:00Guess my 47 degrees isn't looking so bad right now...Guess my 47 degrees isn't looking so bad right now...LOL..Nice pics!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941064006288035769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-46563822430288249252009-03-03T08:00:00.000-05:002009-03-03T08:00:00.000-05:00You just said it- if you don't have the equipment ...You just said it- if you don't have the equipment to deal with it, snow shuts you down! Up here we've got snowplows, I mean big honkin 5-ton trucks with plows the size of volkswagens. In my subdivision, every three houses there's a dude with a snowblower. My dad spends an hour on his tractor every morning clearing out the yard so my mom can get to work and he can get anything else done.<BR/><BR/>Everything's relative, right? If we had to shut down for 6 inches of snow, we'd all just have to hibernate. Which sounds really like an awesome idea. <BR/><BR/>Here's what really bites: we've had several storms this winter. Got at least 6 inches of snow at once, many times. On top of the last batch. Not one snow day. NOT ONE. All the snow fall came on weekends or overnight. My kids feel totally ripped off!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-6688557235675358842009-03-03T03:24:00.000-05:002009-03-03T03:24:00.000-05:00LOLOL!!Erm, okey dokey!
