What are your feelings about snow?

It is pretty, the snow is so heavy it has practically smashing our front bushes down which have the lights on them, I wonder if we will even be able to see the lights tonight.

Ours at the moment is good snowman snow too. The way the wind is picking up and with the prediction of 50 mph winds, I just hope the lights are still there in the morning!

I imagine it is nice to see for people who live where you live. Having to deal with it for 3 or 4 months really stinks. My car is stuck in the drive way right now. I tried to shovel but the snow is all wet and heavy I shoveled till my body couldn't take it anymore hopefully I can get out in two hours when I need to go pick up my son.

I lived in northwest Montana many years ago. We had a lot of snow. A lot! I had to use chains often, which meant we did not go anywhere unless it was necessary. The county plowed my driveway, which was nice. Without that we would have had to leave the car on the road and walk from it to the house, which was about a quarter of a mile off the road. Snowfall in that area was measured in feet, not inches. My wife's son and I made a snowball in the yard by just rolling a small ball of snow. It got bigger and bigger. When it was so big the two of us together could not roll it anymore it was taller than I am. Sometimes snow is fun. Mostly it is work.

My wife and I both get around in power wheelchairs. 7 years ago she moved here from California to marry me. For most of the year she loves living here because of all the historic sites we get to visit in and around Boston. But then comes winter...and snow. Snow sure looks pretty after a storm when it coats the trees and glistens in the sun. But it sure isn't any fun for those of us in wheelchairs. Sidewalks become impassable either because they're not cleared of snow or the curb cuts are blocked by mounds of the frozen white stuff when snow plows come along. In the snow-free months of the year we can easily get to the buses and trains and go out when we want and come back when we want. In the winter we have to make paratransit requests and then make do with the schedule they give us. And because it is a shared service that may involve picking up and dropping off other riders in a variety of towns. Those trips often take hours in vans where you feel every bump in the road. Also if it cold enough for snow then it means having to wear bulky clothing that for the disabled isn't easy to get on and off. So we're hoping for a mild winter with a minimal amount of the frozen white stuff.
