OMG I have about had it. Six more inches of sleet and heavy snow and no bloody place to put it. Some people's roofs are collapsing. Mine just gets sorta
cleared off and another load drops on it. Water damage on several walls. I drove into work this morning (after much heavy scooping) and usually the people on
my street are quick on the draw with the snowblowers, but no one had even budged yet today. Nowhere left to put it, I guess. I've never seen such taxing
weather, coupled with hideous heating and gas costs and housing damage. Many people are getting severely depressed and discouraged. This needs to end.

Lisa,
Where do you live? I'm in Worcester and we got nothing but rain the last storm. I don't have any snow left in my yard.

It's 72 and sunny out on the west coast. I love winter.

sbukoski wrote: I live in Northern Maine. Record snowfalls this year. The DOT crews have done a wonderful job this year, as always, but their salt and sand supplies are
nearly depleted. My next-door neighbor has a wall of snow so high I swear he could sell ad space on it. He should spray-paint it green! The combination of longer, colder and snowier winter than usual with outrageous gas and oil prices and twice-the-national-average electric rates, along with
disappearing jobs, has taken a terrible toll on people up here. It has been very interesting to see the natures of people emerging. Help has come from some
unusual places; others have become victims of fear and just started acting weird. Many, many families, knowing that their power can't be cut off during the
winter with children in the house, have made the choice to put off paying electricity so they can afford oil.
I am greatly encouraged by the wind turbines going up around here. Whether exacerbated by global warming or whether normal climatological cycling, I hope none of us has to see a winter this severe again for a long, long time. Lisa

Honestly, Jim, the quick answer to how I stand it up here: I can't.
And MORE snow is falling, the roof over the kitchen sink is dripping again, and I'm getting a stomach flu. Sea Dogs is sounding VERY good! Lisa
