Let it snow

[Mike476]

I spent most of my youth in north-eastern New Brunswick in the 60s and 70s (Mirimachi). Back in those days snow arrived in October and left in April. None of this cold and then warm, snow and then rain or freezing rain and then back to snow.

I can remember the police driving through the streets advising parents to keep their children off the snow piles on the side of the road because of their proximity to the power lines, assuring parents the grader would be along soon to cut the tops off the snow banks.

Outdoor rinks were everywhere, no fear of losing your ice to thaw, was a heck of a lot of snow to be shovelled off but the right shovel and a sharp pair of skates and we made short work of it. Good times.

Have to say I prefer the four seasons but not what we've been seeing these past few years.

I used to love winter. After plowing for the DOT for 14 years, my views are a little different now.

I hear ya. When we moved north and inland away from the coast in southern Maine, I thought I would leave behind the every snow ends with a rain thing. I did for a couple of years, but not lately. The -13F we had last week is the coldest it's been in at the past two-three years at least, maybe more.

Hey Mike,I know what you are talking about.I am not far from you,just before the valley,and would rather see all snow than the mixture we seem to get most of the time.The only thing I would like to see more is NO snow at all :laughing:

I know, that would require moving to a more southern location and I'm not ready for that...............yet.

We woke up this morning to -14 and I think it is heading your way. I'm glad I don't have to push snow in the middle of the night anymore!
