Our weather probably isn't too far off from yours. We had a lot of -20's to -30's days last winter. Lots and lots of heavy wet snow. I was getting nervous toward the end, because I was running out of places to put it. Nor'easters right and left.
I love it. LOL.

Sheldon- Does it normally snow this early up there? Ive seen it snow in sept before, but I was in the mountains of Wyoming.
I've been in the mountains in June and woke up under a foot of snow

Morning. 46 is probably not far off from our high today...but at least the sun is shining.

Yeah Chris, it snows up here sometimes around this time of year. General rule is halloween though. On or right around halloween the snow usually doesnt leave.

A few years ago we almost didnt have a white christmas though, that was pretty neat!
I'm used to snowy Halloweens. I can remember being a kid, like 4-years-old in my little costume, and the snow was so deep my dad just carried me from house to house and would set me down at each porch so I could go trick-or-treat.

Last winter was pretty nasty. -30 and -55 windchill is a bit too cold for my taste, your muscles stop functioning properly in that kind of cold.

Well, it's up to 64* here now and sunny. Beautiful day outside today. It would be so much more beautiful if the broomrider wasn't coming to pick my oldest son up.

Hello my good friend! Yeah, that's about as PG-13 as I can be when it comes to her. How are things going?

How High up were you?
I have spent no where near as much time in the mountains as you have, but I would defiantly love to get a place up in the hills somewhere where I dont have to worry about anyone bothering me.

Things are going well. Just kicking back and watching the Pats game with J-L.

Does she sweep the floor as she walks around with it? Keeps both hands free this way. Multi tasking.

If she were to sweep a floor like that or any other way, it would be a first.

I'm one of the fortunate ones, my wife is great and I feel very fortunate to have her.
We have a lot of fun together and I've been happily married for 26+ years.

I honestly hope that someday I can find that kind of happiness too Dan. You and Kris are great people and I enjoyed meeting the both of you.
