Winter!

It wasn't until late in January last winter, that we got to see some real snow. It is just the second week of December this season, and we have seen quite a bit already. The temperatures are in teens or less, and my wife's 4WD SUV has already got stuck in snow/ice on our driveway thrice. While I have no complaints with the weather, others around me can't stop blaming it for all the problems under the sun (whom we haven't seem much of, recently). I have only one complaint. I tried to flex my muscles over the weekend, trying to shovel all of 1.5 ft of snow that had accumulated on my deck. And my back really hurts! I never knew my deck was that big!
