Yes sir, beautiful, but shoveling and plowing the the darn stuff sure gets old. I know a little about those s.e. winters, having lived in Va. a couple times back in the 60's
We had an ice/snow storm last week and as of this Christmas morning there are still 120,000 homes without power. Those folks live in the county just south of us. It has been a really bad late fall/early winter so far.
Keep those folks in your prayers because it is really cold and the shelters are full.
Reminds me a bit of last springs Ice storm we had.
I had two generators luckily. We were without it for a week and it darn near killed my wife. I don't even want to contemplate being completely with out it, and over the Christmas too. Bad Bad Deal!
