More so just tired of it. Being in the mtns of SWVA we are prone to getting some fairly sizable snowfalls. 2-1/2 to 3' at a spell are not all that uncommon here but certainly are not the norm. What we are used to though is those snows melting off relatively quickly here, like in less than 5 days give or take. Not used to one snow piling on top of another and then another and so on which has been the case this year. And while the Blue Ridge mtns may not reach to heights much like the Rockies and others out west, they're very steep with mostly hollars instead of valley's so there is no avoiding the idiots that have no clue how to get around in the snow.
I have a mile+ of driveway to keep clear and have not complained once about as I wouldn't have it any other way. smile

Pretty cool tool to remove snow from your roof.

I wonder how that works when one has to reach 2+ times the height in that vid.

Of course, if we want snow, all I have to do is drive up to DARBY's place a couple hours away, where the whiner cry's over a little snow on his porch and truck.

I was an angry lady today, and now I am paying for it, with my problem. BP is up and heart rate is rising, and I have taken a little something to stop me from doing unlady like things to unintelligent beings who claim to be human, and who make my derriere twitch, which is not a good thing in my realm.

At this moment I am curled up in my pj's, waiting on a cup of tea, and a biscuit or two. The pill is beginning to work, and I am warmer now.

Thank you. Your always the voice of peace and sanity for me smile

When my teenagers move out I will be in a perpetual state of bliss and calm. I could shrug off a nuke at that point. All a matter of perspective...
