My back porch is covered, so BBQing year-round is a possibility, rain, hail, snow, etc.   BUT, today I did shovel once and the wind blew snow back on the porch, so guess it will be a soup day! I really prefer someone else shovel for me, and so glad I live in a community where the HOA does it for you!  I know, Barbara Todaro would say - it is good exercise!You know there is a lot of snow when they bring the heavy equipment to do the streets and some driveways!  I had some packets of hot cocoa, and they loved it. The lights have flickered several times today, but so far, the electricity has not gone out.    03/14/2021
