I would nicely say to the OP that you are probably not Villages material .. Like one of the other posters, I grew up in Syracuse, went to college in Rochester NY and then moved "south" to the Binghamton / Endicott NY area, where I got only 2/3 of the snow that the first two cities received .. 88 inches / year at the time .. Also had a work gig that took me through the Catskills regularly.

My wife is tired of me telling folks that the day I had the biggest smile on my face is when I gave my brother my 7.5 HP John Deere snowblower .. That;s when I moved to Atlanta .. I actually like seeing blue skies and daffodils in February .. If you still like shoveling, stay put .. there is nothing wrong with that .. Someone has to stay back and turn out the lights
