By working at home we need not venture out when the weather outside is frightful. I hope your recovery went well, Carlos. Yes, indeed, falling on ice can be treacherous.

It took me weeks to recover from that fall. The thing was you couldn’t see the ice. It’s worse that black ice sometimes! I do like not working and being able to not have to commute in any kind of bad weather. That is most definitely a big benefit!

Without the tools on hand to put all of that snow in its place, there isn't much that you can do about it. As you known, this area is very pretty, and not accustomed to handling even the triflest winter blast. Grampy, you are so right!

It was an awful experience. Cleveland and other places used to lots of snow think nothing of it. I like snow, but only when we have the resources on hand to manage it.

That would not be fun being stuck overnight at school, although maybe the kids would have liked it if the teachers made it into one big party for them. Cleveland does pretty well at keeping the streets clear on snow days. .-= Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"´s last blog ..<a href="http://karenzemek.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-favoirte-gift-ever-and-more-writers.html" rel="nofollow">My Favoirte Gift Ever and More!

Keegan Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:20:54 +0000 http://www.matthewkeegan.com/?p=1886#comment-7903 Larry, being that you're in Oklahoma I thought snow would be a regular thing. I suppose that depends on where you live. Same here -- the mountains see several feet of snow through the winter. I do enjoy snow. Especially when I'm home and it is optional for me to leave or stay. I feel sorry for a lot of folks, who must stay until the bitter end and then fight traffic snarls for hours. Larry, being that you’re in Oklahoma I thought snow would be a regular thing.
