Thar she blows!

One snow event and one blizzard have given us a new chance to use our new snowblower. Before, it truly seemed like we were the only ones on the block who did not have one. After a 3-6 inch snowfall, it makes a heck of a difference in snow shovel time.


There's a big problem with this picture, though. You are supposed to blow the snow into your yard, not the street. We've seen several people in the neighborhood blow snow and huge piles of leaves into the street, so we thought nothing of it.

Then, someone from the sheriff's office randomly drove by and let us know snowblowing into the street is illegal. That's when we used our standard excuse that always seems to work with people up here, "Geez. I didn't know. I moved here from Louisiana."

It is so unusual to actually hear of someone moving from a warmer place to this icebox that the standard followup question came next, "WHY?"
