If you knew me, you would know how large that statement is. I have friends from all over the USA call to tell me when it first starts snowing in their state. I LOVE LOVE LOVE snow! I have been a snow freak for a long time.

Last year we got over 12 feet of snow. The year before we had more than 10 and while we loved it, its now getting to be alot like work. We moved to the back woods of NH to just relax, and enjoy the peace and quiet. Well, there is NO peace and quiet. The summers are filled with campers, and renters who use the lake. The winters are full of snow mobilers, and skiiers cutting through. It has been snowing like every 3rd day! we are not talking a dusting or 4 inches. its been snowing a foot at a time! Every three days has cured me of wishing for snow...EVER! we are expecting another 20 inches today!

My back is sore from shoveling. The oil tank is again running low, and we have burned through more fire wood than we expected. The snow thrower keeps shearing off the cotter pin, and my poor car is buried under there somewhere. We have a big gas guzzling SUV that we would have been completey home bound without. Every sidewalk is blocked with snow banks. Every parking lot is cut in half because there is no where to store it. Every neighbor or local business has an icy track leading to their door. No one seems to be able to get ahead of this mess!

Enough! Uncle! I want to go visit someplace warm. Who has a spare bed?
