Ah...winters in the North Country. Let me tell you about the winters in NYS....I have to agree that Mother Nature can really paint a beautiful picture when it snows. Some of the scenery here has been breathtaking. Truly a winter wonderland. However, after the plows go through with salt and sand, the cars slide off the road and into each other because they've forgotten how to drive in the snow from the last year or are they 16 year olds that have just gotten their licenses out to test the new snow, the slop, the dirt, the aggravation and expense that goes along with the snow far outweighs the moments of beauty. Scraping the ice off the windshield, boots lined up at the door, trying to find your mittens and hats, heavy, bulky coats, so cold out it takes your breath away. And, the cars don't like to start because it gets so cold out. Last year I witnessed -26 degrees! I think I'll take the heat and sun...any day. We are ready to make the move to TV!!
