OT - To Everyone - How much snow?

[Diane]

Hi again,

I was just wondering how much snow you all have gotten in the past day or
so. We're in LaSalle (Windsor), ON, and we got about 4". We have to walk,
basically, everywhere. Today, we're taking our little cart and going to the
bank, then the grocery store and then I'm getting my hair trimmed for the
Oath ceremony. :-) Some of the sidewalks here are not shoveled and every
year that we've been here (six years), they also have not been shoveled. I
actually called the Mayor of LaSalle about a week or so ago and left a
message on his voicemail. LOL He called me back! We had a nice
conversation and he sounds like a very nice man. We talked about 5-10 mins.
or so. He said he was trying to get a by-law enforcing the removal of snow
from the sidewalk in front of the houses, the open fields, or the empty
properties, but has not been able to do so. He empathized with our
situation and said he was still going to try to get the by-law passed. He
also told me I could call him ANY TIME. I thought that was very nice. He
said he was very concerned about us and the other senior citizens in the
town because he had seen some of them fall because of the snow and ice. He
has even given some of them a ride home! Sorry to be so chatty. LOL
Anyway, because of the unshoveled parts of the sidewalk here, we will be
walking in the road some of the time as I had mentioned to the Mayor.
That's it. Just wondering and talking. :-) Please have an anxiety-free
and stress-free day, everyone.

Hugs,

Diane

Thank you so much TJ. Fortunately, we didn't get as much as most areas in
Canada got. We only got around 4-5 maybe 6 inches at the most and we don't
drive. But...it can still be dangerous to walk in and I found that out a
few Winters ago when I fell in the snow/ice two separate Winters and hurt
myself. Not enough to require medical attention, but enough to hurt. Ouch!
Did you get any snow, TJ?

Hugs,

Diane

i'm glad to hear the winter hasn't been too hard on you! we haven't had
any snow at all which is much the same as last year. i love to see snow but
it causes so many problems for people it's probably for the best not to
get it =)

Thank you again TJ. I'm glad you didn't get any snow. Yes, it can become a
real hazard! Unfortunately, it's been a rather cold and windy Fall and
Winter for me. I am so skinny and I wear so many layers when I go out, that
I'm not sure I am going to make it through this Winter alive! LOL The wind
was soooo bad one day that it kept pushes me from side to side walking on
the sidewalk to go shopping. We don't have a car and won't have one, so we
have to walk to the grocery store, dentist, one doctor, pharmacy, etc. And,
it has really been bone-chilling this season. When I was heavier (fatter
haha!), I could take the Winters here much easier, but now I really freeze
when we go out, and it's affecting my life a little bit because I love to
take walks in the woods, even if the snow and cold weather. Oh well! Such
is life. :-) I guess one of these days it'll warm up enough to go out
without so many layers on. LOL You take care TJ. Nice to hear from you
again.

Hugs,

Diane

Where I live the four seasons are Fall, Winter, Spring and Next Winter.
Slipped on the steps the other day and landed right on my butt. Fortunately
I have enough "padding" that it didn't hurt too much. When you live at a ski
resort snow is a way of life but it's getting old. We'll see the ground
again sometime in April. But, for whatever reason I love driving in the
snow. Once you get used to it sliding around can be fun and a real
adventure. Hit the brakes and you never quite know where you're going to
wind up. :-)

chance live in Canada? <bg>

A ski resort! How cool! LOL You must be in Colorado, eh? You don't have
to tell me, Sheldon. Be careful driving! :-)
