Oh wow Bruce, can't thank you enough mate for going and filming those three vids!!!!
Watched them a few times now with Jenny and last night with the grandkids....they said numerous times "How do people live there"
It looks sooo clean and sooo cool and crisp, the air must be just wonderful to breath in and fill your lungs.
Good timing as well, its raining here today with Summer lightening storms after two days and nights of horribly intense 40°C+ (106°F) heatwaves which are due to return over the weekend.
Thanks for that effort, super duper appreciated That snow blower, what an awesome bit of kit, must be such a time saver from using a shovel.
You have no idea of the questions this Aussie family had watching these vids
"How do people live there"
"What about the animal"
"How do people drive on the roads"
"Do people break hips slipping on the ice"
"Do kids have to go to school"
"Do they flood when all that snow and ice melts"
They just kept on rolling in!!! LOL Its hard for us to imagine its just so different. -

I had to share this picture of my grandpa the year he passed (almost 11 yrs ago)
He would sit by the kitchen window behind the drift everyday… drinking coffee and watching what little traffic would drive by. He had gotten too weak to keep up with the snow so I came out and shoveled/blew it away because it was blocking his view

"Those icicles look dangerous ..... like spears just waiting to get ya!"
more often than not, you just hit them (accidentally) with your head & knock them of, you would probably have to be lying flat on the ground & have 1 fall off & come perfectly Straight down to hurt you, it can happen though. what happens far more often is that all that weight hanging off of the gutters will often pull the gutters down off the house. -

Or even more often the water will pool behind the ice dam and leak through into your house

I've been pondering what's worse.....the horrible interminable heat of 9 month Summers with a UV index that literally fries your skin, nights of temps around 86°-90° coupled with high humidity that makes sleeping difficult.....Or that snow and ice!!.......I haven't come to a conclusion yet

my thoughts on this are...you can always put on more clothes to stay warm, there's only so many clothes you can take off to stay cool.

That's what everyone says down here
plus, the Australian Aborigine wasn't black for no reason....most of us should be in England, Scotland or Ireland

I've used this exact same line, more times than I can count!
Though sometimes I have added .... to get cool and stay legal!!! ;c) -

We’re lucky to enjoy both in Minnesota
Luckily the heat/humidity is only about a month here I’ve lived in a house with no A/C where the night time temp in the bedroom was in the high 90’s
