I moved from Florida to Pennsylvania

and from sunshine to the first snowfall of this winter. My questions are do you shovel your snow? Does someone else do it for you? Do you insist on building a snowman and having the first snowball fight before anyone touches the snow to remove it? What do you like most about snow? What do you like least? Does snow mean automatic school closure or are you in a place like Buffalo, NY where it is just another day until it covers your car? I've never been a big fan of the white fluff after the first five minutes. Then I'm ready for it to melt away and be gone! When we lived in Maryland, I had more than my fill of shoveling, freezing and slipping and sliding on the ice underneath. Moving to Florida took me to a fantasy land of perpetual sunshine with a bit of rain mixed in. I didn't even mind the hurricanes that bounced through. But snow? Yuck, yuck, yuck!

I always shovel my sidewalk so my family or visitors don't slip and fall - I also put down salt. I don't shovel my driveway. Snow does not mean school closure however there are several great sites like Schools out that can email you or text you phone when schools in your area are closing. We always built snowmen and forts when the kids were small but now everyone is content to sit inside. Our biggest concern is how to get to work and back safely.
