We get snow here every year, But I haven't seen a white Christmas since 1966

I loved Maryland when I lived down there many years ago. It snowed only once that whole winter.

Last winter, up here in Western New York, we had five feet of snow in one day last December. My gutters crashed down, and tree limbs kept falling on the roof.

However, we later realized that was nothing compared to the January ice storm which left us without electricy for two and a half days. That meant no lights, no furnace and no way to cook. A small woodburner in the family room kept us from freezing, but the rest of the house was icy.

Thank God for batteries in the radio. It kept us sane. Ooops, I'd better go get some new batteries.
