That would be perfect with one 2-3 inch snow per year. This year I
trashed my snowblower and had one of my bathrooms freeze up. First
time frozen in 20 years at this place. The supply and waste BOTH
froze even with a trickle running. While trying to thaw that out I
had to go out to the burbs where it was almost 30 below to take care
of another problem. I'm sooo done with winter. Now I have to see if
I can even find a snowblower to replace the dead one.

Louise made some wonderful sauce and were having a pizza and movie
night this evening.
