Glad to see you are home safe and sound, Scott! We look forward to lots of reports! 
How are you going to cope - how close are the nearest ocean waves  |
LOL! At one stage (1998) in NY we were baled up for two weeks because we had 2 metres of white stuff outside. We'd dig the 20m driveway out and by the time you got 2 metres in the part you shovelled was a foot under again. We loved it. We went through 3 winters like this and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. We had a ski area literally up the road (Bear Mtn) and skating on the pond in the next back yard. There were white roofs with fairy lights for Christmas - just a magical atmosphere. Crisp, fresh and invigorating! I'd much rather the snow than a hot beach. Yuk.
