As usual, I've been chuckling about people's comments around this area. "I sure hope we don't get another BAD winter like last one!" I can SO REMEMBER the late 70s, living in an old mobile home, a dozen snows of more than 5 inches, two weeks of below 15 degree weather in Feb., frozen water pipes, cars that wouldn't start...... I've been telling my 21 year old son about these times. He just gives me the old, yeah, sure dad!. We have become sooooo spoiled here in SE Iowa. And I'm conscious of the fact that I'm sounding like my grandma.
