When I heard that Aroostook County got a pile of snow recently-and that many parts of Pennsylvania and upstate New York were slammed with a half a foot yesterday, it made me shudder….and realize that our turn is not far off!
As October winds down, the entrance of the 11th month means that the white stuff is ALWAYS a possibility. We need to get physically prepared—break out the snow blower (if you are fortunate enough to have one---I still haven’t bought one…yet!), dig out the snow shovels, put the plow on the truck…..and wait.
Aside from equipment prep, we need to MENTALLY prepare to face the flakes. That may be the hardest part. Losing sight of your yard until Spring is never easy—and seems to get harder each year.
Hopefully, the Farmer’s Almanac is dead wrong about the snowfall amounts we can expect this winter….I’ll take the cold…and enough snow to keep the skiers happy, but beyond that….Mother Nature…PLEASE SPARE US!!!!!
