    At least here in Massachusetts, it should melt off by the end of the month.

    Thats nuts!:eek:

    I can remember living in Henderson KY, as a kid, and my mom having to call the neighbor to come shovel out the front door.
    We could not get out of the house.:lol:

    Running the snow blower over the lawn does not constitute "mowing" the lawn. :smile:

    Thanks all for the heart felt empathy you've shown as you discuss how tall your grass is and the last time you mowed. That's what I like about this place, if you trip and fall, there's always someone who'll bend over and...kick ya a few times:cheesygrin: Funny thing, last year it was 21c on St. Paddy's Day and we're walking around in shorts. Global warming must have taken a year off.

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    That picture is a bit misleading I'm afraid. :) Winnipeg has only gotten 5 feet total of snow ALL winter. What everyone is seeing is the hill from shoveling the driveway. The right angle and I can make my house look the same. Some citizens have drifts and hills 10 feet high in some areas from it blowing.

    We certainly have no where to put it...
