Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow

Are you about as fed up as I am about our snowfall this winter?

I get the "but you're from Canada" reaction all the time when we talk about the snow.

Yes (ay) I know...but everyome seems to forget that before I moved to Worcester 10 years ago, I worked at the Federations in Louisville KY. and Tampa Florida, not known for their below zero temperatures and their huge seasonal snowfalls.

Having grown up in that winter wonderland of Montreal, I do remember huge storms....going for my drivers license with my father and getting stuck in a snowstorm on the way back home and having to leave the car at the side of the road because of the extreme snow and returning the next day to pick up the car...waiting at the bus stop with a small pathway for the bus to pass, and watching one bus after the other pass us by because they were too full to allow anyone else on....

I do remember one snow storm in Louisville however. The only snowplow that the city owned broke down the first time it went out to clear the streets.

We were not plowed out for 4 days...and the city stopped functioning for a week.

At least here, we know that the snow will fall, schools will be closed and work will be temporarily halted only to be followed up with a quick and efficient clean-up.

So , let it snow, let it snow, let it snow......somewhere else!
