    Normally I don’t mind Warmer, I use less fire wood. Way Behind this year, so I’m pretty much cutting my weeks use at the start of the week so Warmer doesn’t bother me one bit in that regard.
    But without the freeze, it’s so damn wet that it makes trucking the wood across the property a nightmare. So catch 22.
    My side yard may as well be a lake and the back yard a pond, at least the dog likes it

    In Greater Vancouver (Canada) we've been it with 15-20 cm snow, highways blocked by chained up Semis that've jackknifed, cars in the ditches,
    We're a hilly area (think Seattle, San Francisco) and it's not melting. 14-24 deg F., and nobody's happy except the kids. I park facing downhill, so I can get out, but my wife isn't steady on her feet, I haven't even bothered to dig her Odyssey out, because it's facing uphill - and she has winter tires on all 4.
    Suppose to warm up and rain on the weekend, wash a lot of it away.
    Young enough to remember doing it;
    Old enough to wish I could do it again.

    Here in Northern Indiana it's been mild so far. We were about due for an easy winter. We've had a couple in the last few years that were brutal. I moved here from Michigan 25 years ago, and when the locals would gripe I'd tell them they had nothing to complain about. We had real winter in Michigan and pretend winter South of the border in Indiana. I shoveled my drive three times the first year. My second year I had waist deep snow to deal with on more than one occasion. Living in a Lake Effect snow area is a magical experience.
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.

    Zounds, last time I was in Saskatoon this time of year I forgot to bring gloves and had to go shopping immediately. And plug the engine block heater in when the car was not in use.

    Hey, that's nothing Don, it might hit -12 tomorrow here in the center of the universe. Expect all kinds of emergency warnings and if snows we'll call out the military

    Regards, Rod.
