At random: Fleet Admiral Halsey in a book called "The Admirals" when asked "What is the ultimate strategic weapon that is bringing the enemy to its knees? Halsey's reply "If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rank them in this order: SUBMARINES, FIRST; RADAR, SECOND; PLANES, THIRD AND BULLDOZERS FOURTH."

Good on ya, Patti.
Have you ever wondered why it's called snow? The "stuff" is fitting for a 4 leter word.

I got a  "few"  choice 4-letter words for  it...but I'm "too much of a lady" (ha-ha) to even speak of them...but the biggest 4 letter word I have for all of this "white stuff"...RATS!!!  I think we is going to "employ" the strong arms of a young man (14 going on 15) who is probably up for making a few bucks!!!  I'm getting too old for this stuff!!!

I can remember back when I lived just South of Buffalo '61 and ealier, us teenage boys and a couple of masculine "girls" could make some good money shoveling that "white stuff". I've got a younger brother living in Portage, IN that has his pickup truck rigged to plow snow much like Sid Harrison has. My brother makes some good money plowing out church and shopping center parking lots. As for me? I like fishing the jetties just a tad more and believe me that is a rather large tad. More like a whole heap more.

Aha....That's how Mr. Potato Head got to be so smart!!!

Patti, The snow isn't so bad. I'm in the Los Angeles area and people here are conserned with the long drive getting to the stuff. And they spend a lot of money to play around in the stuff. But I'm with you if you have to deal with it on a daily basis it gets old real quick.
