News from the North

I was quite excited to hear from Aunt Muffy last evening.  She was asking how Spring was going here in Florida....

.... which is something like this.  She also sent a picture of her house with their brand new vehicle......

....in the driveway, and this weather report....
This year we had a LOT of snow compared to the last few years. It practically hasn't stopped snowing since it started in November. The few snow-free breaks we had it was like minus a million degrees outside - some trade off.  It did get warm enough to rain all day Sunday, but all that did was melt a little bit of snow to make room for more.  It has been basically blizzarding ever since.  Today was my day off so i didn't even bother trying to clear that vehicle, I shovelled a path out to the road and that was it.   This time last year, it was already almost summer - warm and pretty much no snow left. 
Which made me laugh... and it got even better.....
they even came and ploughed {how the hell do you spell plowed? Neither way looks right}
This was referring to the dealership where they purchased their new Kia Sorento.  I didn't get back to her yet to explain that either spelling was correct.  The old-fashioned "plough" of the more recent spelling of "plow".  The whole blog made me smile - Aunt Muffy always has the knack of doing that - and Poppa got a huge chuckle out of her missive as well.

She took these pictures yesterday (the 12th of March, 2013).  This is the view out her back sliding doors to their deck.  One final comment....
Even Tim is having trouble lifting the snow to the top of those banks and the damn road plow just keeps filling it back in!!  I don't think it's ever gonna stop snowing ... EVER!!!!  }:(
 
E-ya more later (another 4 months should be just about on schedule for me).
Which had us both laughing out loud (literally!)  Thank you Aunt Muffy!
