Duck, I think you guys in the Great Lakes area deserved a good winter.
Meanwhile here in eastern Oregon, we have had the worst winter in over 100 years. I still have over a foot of snow in most places. We had a bunch of damage to the deck and patio covers when the snow slid off the roof. Also tore the electrical line away from the house. A section of the barn roof collapsed. The shed roof is leaking. LOL--It was about this time last year that we first looked at this home. There was just the slightest skiff of snow on the ground. I was excited about being able to spend a winter without feet of snow......sigh.
My place in Idaho also got way more snow than average...and they usually get a lot of snow. I don't anticipate that I will be able to get into my place there until April sometime.
Mr. Fist, good to see ya. Duck, enjoy your weather.
