We used to get at least some snow here. Now we're lucky to get a dusting to an inch here.

That's the way it is here. Seldom even freezes any more.
I like winter with lots of show and fire wood and a big heavy
toothless native girl to keep me warm in the winter, and shady
in the summer. Now they all wear them thong thingies.
And that ain't very purdy on them. A fresh bear hide is better.
Helps keep the smell of the Humpy's bearable.

it was colder with more snow way back when here in New Joisey too.
i remember one storm back in 61 or 62 where the snow drifted 15-20 feet out on the road in front of the house and the back of the house.
they used a 980 cat bucket loader and a D-8 buldozer to open the roads up.
and back in 80-81 we has back to back 24 inch snows, one on tuesday, one on thursday that shut the state down for close to a week.

I can remember playing outside in shorts on Christmas day. Not quite warm enough to do that this year. I will say we've seen more snow here in the last 5 years than my 90 year old neighbor has seen his entire life.

I sure do wish you folks up North would take your snow back. I don't like the stuff.

Haha! That was the first thing that I thought of after first thinking what a beautiful shop! I would have built a closet outside the wall and piped the air in from there.

Mine is like that except for being half the size.... and the fact that I have extra things and materials all over the place. It is hard in a cold climate and have automotive gear and woodworking equipment where the trucks and hot rods belong.

Happy Ho Ho day all y'all trucksters!
