I remember getting a snowblower as a kid. It was huge upgrade from a shovel. These days I wouldn't mind an occasional shoveling. It's when you live in that shit day in and day out that it gets old. Winter wonderland seems romantic until you have to chisel out your car each morning. LOL

If it is the light fluffy stuff I don't bother with the snow blower, I only bring it out when there is either heavy wet snow or lots of it. Or snowed overnight and snowplow already blocked me in with an ice dam.

They only freak out here when we get ice. Precipitation, a dropping freeze line and 7 million people create havoc. My mother gets a foot of snow overnight and it's no big deal. Just another day in the life.

We got a bit of snow here a while ago, seems to have stopped. -20C out, now we're getting real winter weather. Kinda been spoiled with warmer weather in past few months.

Hmmm, I kinda want coffee but it's 2am. I start day shift Friday so it would not hurt to actually go to bed before 4am, need to try to revert to day shift mode.

But coffee.......

Not bad for basically winging it. Some questions are super easy, while some are very specific and near impossible to know without having actually looked at the material.

Thus your garage is your freezer, eight month out of the year.

You don't have a coffee maker? Caffeine leaves my system like thirty minute after I drink the coffee. Even faster than the water it came in .

Looks to me like you really need to know your regulations a lot better.

I do now. Well I always had one but forgot about it and I just never bought any filters or grounds till like a week ago. Now I tend to drink more because I can just make it at home.
