I used to enjoy snow a little more before having chickens. They think snow is da debil and won't go out of their coop. I actually went in and tossed them out of their coop several times last winter when we just had a light dusting. Once they are out they are fine.

Chickens, for those who haven't been around them, can't deal with any little change in their environment without freaking out.

I’d like it to snow again. I need the money. It used to be a staple of income for my business.

Excited - no. Glad - yes. The last four years I've not had to plow snow. Just an insufficient accumulation. Snow on the ground signals the end of wildfire season.

@ArlyA the notorious and much hated Tacoma. 🤣

That looks like northern Maine; UP probably has a pretty similar climate as up here.

Used to really look forward to winter and snow but since selling the sleds several years ago, not so much; We really enjoyed heading north for a weekend, or week, of sledding. Old age sucks!

Yeah, I don't enjoy getting stuck on sleds wither, I quit that before I started. It's a young bucks game, but tractoring I can do into my wheelchair days (Hope they never come)

Sledded till I was 75 but back and neck issues put me out of business; miss it still but know the show's over

Not me, I hate winter! I am prepared at least with two nice walk behind blowers and now a tractor with a back blade if needed.

I gave up on my trusty honda blower a few years ago which I've used for 20+ years. Here it is and its replacement.
