a lot of snow. Last year, zilch. A couple of years ago, once with a trace and the other with 16 inches.

I also split by hand all my own firewood and love it. I am in shock because there is firewood i'e' logs from fallen trees everywhere but I have no more room around my townhouse to store any more.

We don't have to do yard-work because our HOA takes care of common ground. I HATE yard-work like mowing and weeding and taking care of flowers. My attitude is that I will plant them and then they are on their own and my wife says she kills silk flowers and when we walk through the garden department of Home Depot, the plants say "Don't pick me! I don't want to die!"
