I had to walk out to my barn to get a ramp to load equipment into my truck. The snow from the past 3 or 4 storms came right up to my pants sipper... and I'm 6'2". I kept falling-in trying to carry the ramp through the deep sow, much to my wife's amusement. While I always skied, snowmobiled and rode a quad in winter I'm getting too old for this crap. I long for warmth. I was heading to NC for a little R&R. So much for that idea.I hear people in my area whining about the snow we have had this year. A 6" snow puts them in a panic. In the 1950-1960 time frame I lived in the country, about a mile and a half from the nearest community. We use to have to walk to the little store in town to get bread, milk, meats, and what ever. I have seen times when we could walk right over fences that were grown up in honeysuckle (as we called them "hedgerows"). They were usually 4' to 5' high. I was within 50 miles of where I live now. It was not unusual for school to be closed for a week. At one time we had 2 state roads snow plows disabled trying to open our road. Good times!

Funny thing, my brother in law just moved from W. Palm Beach to NC and got hit.I've got relatives in South Carolina, and they are 20 west of Charleston, and they have had snow, sleet, and heavy winds and have been our of electricity since last Sunday (2/9). Look at the mess they've had in GA. Looks like the only place to go is South Florida, no snow there.
