Thread Name: BS: Iz Startin' to Hate Snow
Subject: RE: BS: Iz Startin' to Hate Snow
Portland has had a mid-winter thaw and I once again have a driveway instead of a skating rink. The ice damn i almost gone. The temp. was in the 40s yesterday. Today's sleet/snow is late in arriving. Hope that means all rain. I have my back door propped open so that the cats, who are suffering from cabin fever, can wander in and out. his has been a long, hard winter - just what I came to Maine for.
Irony - NYC has had a worse winter mainly because they have no place to shovel the snow. And they use garbage trucks as snow plows, adding the accumulation of street trash to the mix.
Actually, the arrival of a family of bald eagles in the pond behind my office has made this winter seem like nothing. I have stood 10' from a wild bald eagle - every day for a week. Life is good.
