I was actually shocked when I moved to a new location and the winter weather was terrible.
People told me that I probably wouldn’t have to worry too much about snow where I was moving, but they were wrong. It seemed as soon as I moved to the destination, the snow just got out of control. I didn’t even have a snowblower because I sold it. I thought I wouldn’t need to use it and I could easily get by with just a snow shovel. After all the blizzards we faced and all the snow piling up, I realized that this new location was getting more snow than where I came from! So I ended up getting a heavy duty snow blower. I can’t tell you how horrible it was those first few storms when the snow wouldn’t cease. I was out there constantly just breaking my back removing snow on the lengthy driveway. I would keep going back inside to warm up with the heating system. I would have to rest in front of the HVAC vents for a long while before I was able to warm up. I also have an electric fireplace, but it’s nothing like the real thing. My wife says that we should consider having a real wood burning fireplace installed in our living room. I actually think that would be an awesome idea. Then when I come back inside from all the snowblowing, I would be able to rest in front of a fire and thaw out in no time before I get back to work on clearing all the snow away. People around here say we never had snow like this before, and people actually blame me like I brought the bad weather with me.
