I got up to rain, which turned into a raging snowstorm
Lucky! We were supposed to get a big snow storm but by the time it came through it only dumped about two inches on us and it was the really light powder stuff that just blows away. I was pretty disappointed. I had to run over to my parents and shovel their driveway while my wife did ours. It wasn't even enough snow to bother starting the snow blower. It is good that you have people who can help with that. So many people have major cardiac events from shoveling snow. It is scary.
That is true. They do. We have four here at home, so shoveling is no big deal. I am pretty fit and thankfully don't get that much snow, but, our neighbor loves snow blowing and does a bunch of houses here, while the rest of us do porches, vehicles, and the hot chocolate/snack brigade. When it snows in the Washington, DC area, they close it down and as everyone is a government worker, everyone is off. :) Indeed, the wet, heavy stuff is always a cardiac threat that many people don't take seriously. You don't have to be 50 - it easily strikes younger people.
It's a win!
