I really don't like the snow when it has high moisture, I got a bad case of pluracy from going in and out visiting family. I got a gift card for Joannes and couldn't wait so I went shopping yesterday. Welllll....made me worse so I am wrapped up in my quilt and that is were I am going to stay for the day.

I know Traverse City, my family has a home on Sanford Lake. My sister, she inherited, has to have someone shovel the snow off the roof in Dec. The roof pitch is inadequate to support the snow weight.
Joan, there is a fabric store a short walk from my house, they have outdated fabric for a fraction of retail. Love the shop, good seletion of notions too.

No snow here in the middle of the country, BUT last year WE had the same blizzard you just had. 6 ft drifts in front of our doors. Neighbor had to come shovel the doors out before we could get out of the house. I always try to anticipate things I will need and stock up before November. Like you, occasionally miss something---Hate when that happens.

If you are serious about Florida, check out Ocala. We live in a 55+ community called "On Top of the World." You can find it on the Internet and can get a 3-day visitation there at a very reasonable cost. Ocala is a beautiful city of about 60,000. In the center of horse country (Marion County alone has over 35,000 horses) so you are surrounded by beautiful horse farms. Easy access to interstate, good stores, medical services, etc. We have been here almost 8 years and love it. Plus, houses are super cheap right now.

Let it snow, let me sew. We have hot dry summers, but not humid, beautiful springs and falls, and moderate winters. come see us in the Okanagan in BC :) PS, I also have a sweet manservant who shovels so I just enjoy the beauty :)

I too feel your pain David. My son and his fiance' are stranded in Haverhill after visiting her family for Christmas. They are trying to get home to Philly. We have about 2 feet on the ground up here. Summer's just around the corner.
