    No snow here either.

    We had a dusting yesterday but it's gone. It's weird to see no snow accumulation at all.

    Many places lost there snow before last weekend's storm , of which we only got about 1 foot ( some nearby areas got 3 feet) but being at some elevation we had never lost all our snow in the thaw to begin with. I believe more is on th way as well.

    Interesting, I would do that if needed. I finally had my follow up and those damn stiches taken out yesterday. If the 75% improvement holds , I'll be cool with it. At least I can cut my fingernails without too much concern that I'll take flesh now.

    I reluctantly submitted to buying one this year in case my wife got stuck with a snow storm when I was laid up and my son was gone. I've used it once, he's used it once. She wound up skating instead of snowblowing , LOL. But until my arm is full strength I find it much easier to shovel as long as the snow isn't to heavy.

    Thanks. My main problem was the cupital tunnel which controls the nerves effecting the ring and pinky finger and that side of the hand. They did the Carpel Tunnel as there was some issue but I haden't even noticed . But if thing get worse I'll look into the bracelet

    Not me!. I actually view shoveling as my winter exercise. But it's getting tempting to use the blower at end of te driveway where the plow buries us in
