Yearning for the Villages
Well, Old Man Winter has arrived at our house up north. Although it is beautiful, winter is also why we became snow flakes (not birds). Wishing tomorrow morning we could wake up at our home in the Villages and jump in the golf cart for 18 holes and them some dinner and dancing at one of the town squares. I guess instead I will have to get up and fire up the wood stove and then go out and fire up the tractor and plow the white stuff. Getting kind of old for this! Cant wait until the holidays are over and we can head south.

As a Mainiac who left after the Blizzard of 1978, I feel your pain. The picture is beautiful - but why continue to put yourself through the pain? Sell your snowblower and get out of Dodge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Home for the holidays. Woke up to 4 inches. Love the white bright sparkle of snow in the sun. The snow brings out everyone to shovel, help each other, have conversations about the holidays. Makes the holiday displays and lights complete.

Beautiful home Tophcfa! consider yourself lucky too! You will be in TV in the blink of an eye. I have this and one more Michigan winter to go through before I will be there permanently. We are not getting a lot of snow in this part of lower MI but the recent change from the 50's to this blast of cold has me longing for TV too. I can take the snow (at least through the holidays LOL) but the bitter cold is not my cup of tea anymore.

I have not felt really cold weather since leaving Itasca, IL in 1994. Do not miss it but that is quite a beautiful looking home tophcfa. Also spent time in Denver, Minneapolis and near Milwaukee. Native cheesehead here.

I feel your pain. This is the backyard scene we woke up to this morning. One more coffee before I start snow blowing my 125 foot driveway. The good news is that three weeks from today we will be in the sunshine state.

Low temperatures in the 30s last night. Only thing missing was the snow. Stay where you are, clean the driveway, start a fire in the fireplace, make something warm to drink sit back and watch the football games.

It was 20 degrees here this morning. You pretty much described my day except I will also take a trip to the YMCA to swim my daily mile. Wish I was going to a heated outdoor sport pool in my golf cart. Oh well, soon enough.

I remember the white stuff. I had the only snow blower on the cul de sac, and I typically did 5 driveways. Ours was 20ft wide and 30 ft long, and always had 2 cars that had to be moved to completely clean the drive. 2 neighbors had the same size, but not the extra cars, and 2 had single wide drives. Good memories, but glad I am not doing it now. Even with a larger Sears snow blower, this was a 2 to 3 hour process. During snowmegeden (Oct 31), I actually had to go out 3 times the one day just to keep up with the snowfall.
OP, looks like you have a great house, hang in there for a couple of weeks, then welcome back to TV!

We moved here because I broke my ankle checking a neighbor's house in Provincetown. When it was snowing, I usually made soup. |

Oh boy, I'm from Boston and lived through the blizzard of 78. All the snow was the very heavy wet stuff. Plows couldn't plow. In my eyes, 78 was the king of all blizzards to hit Boston..
