Which is why I retired to New Mexico from Boston area... When I get snow here the remote controlled solar powered snow removal equipment has my driveway cleared by the time I've finished my 1st cup of coffee.  Cool

Well I kind of like it here ,no droughts ,or hurricanes or tornados or earthquakes . Being retired I just toss a couple of logs in the fireplace,open a bottle of wine ,crank the radio and wait for thaw.I don't have to commute ,so I don't get upset. It is what it is!

Winter of 72, Tecumseh Oklahoma set records. Ice was so bad that when I parked on main street I was Stuck. It would not back away from the curb. Rear wheel was spinning, idling in reverse..
Getting home was a real trick.

Don't forget the Gilligan's Island, Fantasy Island, & Love Boat re-runs to really get "in the tropical spirit."

Summer is just beginning here. Just spent a week 4 wheeling in the high country, saw the remnants of last winter's snow on a 30 deg c day. Sweet  Cool.
