we had one of those snowfalls last winter.. snow up the wah-zoo.. took me 6 days to shovel my driveway to get my car out
snowblower pooped out on me cuz it wasn't strong enough to handle the heavy, deeper than it, snow..
problem round here is.. houses are so far apart (about a 1/4 mile away if not more) that "neighbors" don't really get to know each other.. most mainly stick to themselves and rarely offer to help each other out.. so no one bothered to offer helping me dig myself out.. not even the rent-a-plows.. guess they were too busy
prior to that was about 20 yrs ago.. woke to the patio door completely covered in snow AND the front door was 3/4's covered.. we tossed my youngest out the front door to go to the shed to get the shovels.. took her almost an hour.. I kept calling out to make sure she was still with us suffice to say no one did anything but shovel for the next few days after

I have lived in Texas almost all of my life so snow is something we very seldom see if we do it only last a couple of days... But I did live in Kearney Nebraska for a year when I was 12. They had one of the worst snow falls they had had in a long time that year.. It was awesome.. yes snow drifts were so tall it was unreal.. The house next door to us the snow drifts were all the way to the eves of the house.. My brother and his friends were jumping off the peak of our house into the snow drift in the backyard.. Remember getting up and opening the front enclosed porch door and the snow had covered the door way.. My brother had to climb out a window to go clear the snow from the front door.. And uncovering my dad's car so he could go to work.. As much as I enjoy looking at it for a short time not sure I could for several weeks.. Ya tough girl doing all that shoveling.. I ain't tough.. I'm simply Canadian and used to it..

Glad I never have to shovel snow, pfff... We had 2-3 days of snow here in January. Which is quite something for the south west, right next to the North Sea. Once was barely 2cm, didn't even cover everything, 2nd time it was about 12cm, allowing me to make a small snowman, hihi. The next day it had collapsed as it temperatures had gone up again. Leaving me with a shawl and a cap on the ground, haha. Right now it's some 11C and the sun is shining. Finally some sunlight again! I am so JEALOUS.. right now here? it's -22C but feels like -32C 🥶
upside on this winter? snow's been mainly powder which is so easy to shovel.. however can't have snowball fights or build any snowmen..

Don't like that 5-in-a-row rule. How's a fella suppose to stalk a girl with less than 6 consecutive messages? Seriously, it does get in the way sometimes when coupled with the 500 character limit per post - because, as I've mentioned, 1 word will never do when I can write a novelette. Particularly when there are language barriers & you have to explain half the shizzle yer saying to someone yer jist startin' out with. One complete thought for me can run several hundred words - & that's when I'm being succinct. The 5-in-a-row was put in just for that problem.. to keep scammers away.. As far as the 500 characters that was put in later... And yes it is a issues for those of us that seem to write a book in emails.. I have found out I do paragraphs instead now so if I get the code that my message is too long.. I just copy so many paragraphs from the bottom delete send then paste and copy following the same way till I can send it all..
I get the 5 in a row rule.. that's fine by me.. but limiting each to only 500 characters is pushing it something awful.. I'm with Coot on this.. keep the 5 in a row but get rid of the max 500 I say.. |
