    Negative.

    My body hates humidity. I loved our warm weather. It was 70 this past saturday, but I love snow for Nov and Dec because it's when I do all of my Christmas movie watching, Christmas music listening and Christmas goodie baking! I sets the tone for my love of the holiday season.

    I do like a good visit to CA though. I doubt I will ever get my husband over there though...

    You must have words with my husband.

    I do most of the shoveling around here. It aggravates me to no end. Now, the only time I really mind is when I am big with child and huffing and puffing. I love shoveling snow. I love throwing snow balls. I love building snow forts. I love building snow men and making snow angels.

    There was this really cute girl staying with my neighbor one winter. We were shoving out one morning and she was working in the front - like towards the condos. I broke it to her- look girl, you need to shovel in the direction you are going to back out....

    Haha. Oh too funny.

    I am still laughing. I can totally relate though...

    one of my brothers lived in Vermont & New Hampshire for a couple of years. He would call and tell me about getting up 2 hours early to shovel his driveway so he could get the car to the street. Odd, but it didn't take too long until he moved south again....(ain't hard shoveling winter fog)

    We will get rain Wednesday I believe. We sure can use it. We are supposed to get a few days of rain.

    The only time I shoveled snow was as an Army E-2 jeep driver for the company commander. I had not realized Jeeps can get snowed in. It was 4wd. But still, I spent some time out in the field digging it free of the ice and snow on one trip. That is the only time I spent time with the unit out on field problems. Well, we later spent time at Baumholder I think it was but I was living and working in their barracks.

    When I got back from Germany to be released by the Army, I spent a week of sheer cold at NY City as I visited my brother and then flew to Boston where it was also cold. That happened early in February 64 and there wasn't snow in NY City though a small amount in the Boston area. This army pal of mine and I drove to New Hampshire a few miles to the gas station the other pal worked at. I think my pal lost contact with the guy in New Hampshire. He currently lives not far from Dulles Airport. (my pal that is)
