Got Snow?

Sometimes we must eat our words. In the past I often said if we are going to get snow, then lets get some real snow. I wanted feet not inches, after all, "I am a New Englander", but lately I find myself during temporary moments of weakness, wishing I was a Floridian.

To date, 71" of snow has fallen on Connecticut and the yearly average is 47", and the great news is, there is talk of another possible Nor'easter next week.

Last night I worked late into the night, and a large part of today insulating the addition. Mike, the building official from the Town Of Mansfield was here today performing a insulation inspection, and mentioned something I have thought about, but at this point in time, I don't wish to add onto my long list of things to stress about. With all this snow, if we get a fast melt, add some heavy Spring rains, our new porch may become a dock.

Tomorrow is Friday, and we are expecting a large delivery from Willard's Building Supply. Our windows, siding, and 70 sheets of sheetrock will be delivered. So now I can look forward to spending my birthday hauling sheetrock from the driveway up the icy driveway, up the stairs, into the addition, and up some more stairs.

I must admit, snow can be extremely tranquil.
