I remember when I moved from LI to northern CT in the fall of '93...we had so many storms and they dropped so much snow, all I could think of was "What was I thinking???"
And then, yes, in the winter of '95/'96, when we moved into our house, there was so much snow on the ground it was awful! When Springtime came, we found so much crud left from the prior owners under the snow, such as a bag of seafood, a toilet, a bathroom mirror...and other strange things...oh, a radiator! And a wooden deck we had no idea was there. Hahaha.
I actually think I have a bit of S.A.D going on.
