Rockytime Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Great blizzard! So far there is about 12" outside, unbelievable. However, it is nice and toasty in my shop. Have not had this much snow in a long time but March is our snowiest month. I can't shovel but wife does. But this is an unusual amount of snow. Gave the snow blower to our son in law because they have this big three car driveway. My grandson is coming over tomorrow to dig us out. First photo is out my shop window, the other is out the back yard. danny, flarud, new2woodwrk and 6 others 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too old to ski anymore so there is no good use for it until it melts.. Then we drink it. Rockytime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxfold Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 It looks very pretty. Look after yourselves and let the 'youngsters' help with any digging. !! OCtoolguy and Rockytime 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 We got lucky this year, not much snow. I do love the look of new fallen snow though. Looks sure pure and refreshing. Just wish is wouldn't be on the roads and sidewalks. OCtoolguy and Rockytime 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I still like getting out and shoveling snow. I take my time, enjoy the beauty and peace, and remember many happy times throughout my life shoveling with others. This winter has been very wimpey in Toronto. Right now we have no snow on the ground and I doubt that we will get any more this winter. Rockytime and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Havn't seen any snow since moving to Central Florida in '14. Last snow I had to put up with was in NC...and that's what made me move to Florida. Getting old and snow just does not go together!

Frank, we have no snow at our locale but we are still thinking about relocating but for a multitude of reasons. Florida is one of the places on our list.

Florida is one of the places on our list. If you like living in a area like you do and only want to relocate for "other" reasons, Central Florida would be a good choice. I think the weather would be quit similar although we do get a few cool (low 40's) weeks a year, and probably more rain then you are used to. There is the rainy season and the dry season - which ios just not quite as rainy, The West Coast (Gulf side) is very nice, but quite populated and lots of traffic around the Tampa area. The East Coast (Atlantic Side) is a little more spacious, less crowded (as long as you stay awey from the Orlando and Attractions areas), and trafic is not too bad most of the time. Like everywhere, poetically speaking, there are the nice side of the tracks and the not so nice side. All it takes is some research to know what kind of area you want to live in and to know what your pocketbook can afford. We live in Ormond Beach on the East Coast about 7 mile north of the worlds most famous "Daytona Beach" and the home of the Daytona International Speedway. I'd say OB is on the little bit more upscale side of the tracks . We had down sized considerbly when we move here and have a small 1600 SF 2 BR duplex on a very small piece of property (A reaseon my shop is so small) but it is free and clear while utilities, taxes and upkeep are low. More than enough for just the two of us. especially at my age. However, OB has some very upscale areas with high end homes as well. The city maintains the roads and public spaces very well. Although CA is a Blue State and FL is a Red state it won't make much of a difference living wise. I personaly just keep my head down and my mouth shut when any thing politically arrises. Mostly others just do the same. And don't forget...no state income tax. But, also, just remember, there are not many native Floridians, just mostly all us transplants call Floridiotes!!!!
