[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 400380, member: 1514"] GCV...we are pretty wimpy down here too. I was saying something to Tony yesterday about folks in the upper northern mid-west and Canada getting so cold in the minus zero temps...and he just busted out laughing at me. He had never heard temps referred to as minus zero. I guess if you have never lived where it gets minus zero you wouldnt...lol. We dont get snow here every year. People at the beaches are really having a blast. It is a rare thing to be able to walk the beach and see it snow. I know it happened one time when I lived there. Of course, this all means we dont really have the equipment the northern states do though it seems to me we seem to do almost as well. I always thought we were "wimpier" and couldnt handle things as well as our states to the north but when I hear that 6 inches upsets other states too, I dont feel quite as bad for us. One year we got 18 to 20 inches and we were swamped for well over a week but then last year it took Difficult Child and MD over a week to dig out too. I think we get out easier because we tend to warm up! All of our plows and trucks are out but they cant get the side roads cleared. We have well over an inch of ice on the ground on top of at least 5 inches of snow. My 50+ pound pit isnt even sinking into the snow. So far we havent lost power...TG. [/QUOTE]
