Normal weather is ten months, with two months of poor sledding/skiing where I grew up.
This global warming has meant seven inches of rain in the last forty hours, instead of the normal eight feet of snow that I know how to deal with. Now if the power stays on, and I don't need the generator, my house probably will not float away in the flooding. Two one horse sump pumps running continuously in my basement in the state with the nation's highest electric rates. Last month the sump pumps electricity cost a Tewksbury and a Newsome! A snowblower will not move a few feet of water like it does many feet of snow . North Dakota kilted in February is quite nice. Beats this hot weather and water thing any day.
grumble grumble, grumble.
