No Business Like Snow Business

Well, well, well; this is the first day in about a week that I haven't had to shovel snow. While we weren't hit with any one major storm (the 8-12 inches of lake-effect snow predicted a few days ago was about 4-5 inches), I shoveled seven times in the previous six days. So the lack of snow today and possibly through Christmas is rather welcome; I know that I laugh at how other locales "handle" snow and wintry weather, but I don't need to have Buffalo/Western New York keep proving how well we do. I hope the only ice I pay need to attention to for a while is that on which the Buffalo Sabres are skating and winning.
