Or like me, get diabetic & so darned sweet we'll dissolve in the shower.  I 
was just out to run a snow shovel for a few minutes, clearing the walkway 
part of the deck, and found a couple of my neighbors had already cleared 
the drive.  Mike on his 4 wheeler and a blade, & John with just a snow 
shovel,  Dee heard them and told me, and by the time I got shoes & a jacket 
on, they were up the hill clearing Tap Coopers drive in case Frieda had to 
work tomorrow.  Oops, there is that 4 letter word again, sorry.  So we 
stood and talked for a few, till the wind came up which took the wind chill 
to about 10F right quick, so my feet are on a heating pad ATM...  I have 
great neighbors.  But the snow has only slowed, it is not done and there is 
a forecast for maybe enough wind to drift it a bit.  Not the worst winter 
here by quite a bit yet though.  We'll need another 8 feet or so to match 
one in the early 90's.  OTOH, cabin fever is slowly settling in too.
