Thus, this is the second winter that snow storms pass us

while we barely see a few inches.

Yes, I know it is hard for people in the East Coast, and some where already killed. But... I would not mind a foot, or so of what they are getting.

Sorry..

We were hammered, over the past two winters. Both were record breakers, either with snow fall or low air temps. This year we've had a couple of heavy snows - one about 10 inches and another at about 5. Now there's maybe an inch, or two, accumulated. I can deal with an inch or two of snow. Now, if it would just warm up, a little, I'd be very happy.

from you guys on this forum.

But just 4" one night, and then more the next.

We visited a park a few weeks ago. Many kids went tobogganing, but the hill was getting naked quickly.

I loved loved loved the big Halloween snowstorm in Mpls. I walked in the middle of Washington Ave. in the snow from my Studio. Good times.
