Oh my goodness...I am so glad I moved out of the midwest! This cold I really do not miss, lol It's beautiful to look at but the shoveling was really tough! A shovel and a small mower with a blade...Our drive was about 150 ft long...geesh Finally after 15 years we invested in a snow blower....moved two years later....to SW Florida! Glad school was cancelled. I always made it to work myself but it was often long and scary! Stay warm!
