I can honestly say:
"I don't miss it".
Last snowstorm was 38 inches and up to the car windows. I love shoveling sunshine better. Today was in the low 80"s.
My friends in NY and CT have told me, it has been the most brutal winter they have ever seen, with temps really low, and no place to put the snow.
Hey I am a poet and don't know it, I won't quit my day job of being retired.
My sympathies for those who would like to be here but haven't made the move yet.
