We had a terrible blizzard a year ago on Christmas Eve and Day.....lots of snow...lots of wind..lots of drifting. It paralyzed things here, too, but now as much as it does your cities when the snow removal hasn't totally kicked in. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys....tell your hubby to be careful with that shoveling!! I did most of it at our house last year....thankfully, we have a snowblower attachment on our riding lawn mower (I don't operate that baby, but the husband does if he's not working). If he's a work and the snow needs clearing, I do it. :(<br /><br />Stay safe....and hope you have a really great New Year's Eve....and 2011!!
