Boy, lots of us used to love snow days. Had a day off, got to play in the snow, didn't have a worry in the world about the sadistic snow plow guy coming by and mounding a Himalayan-like chain of ice at the foot of your driveway.

I was thinking this when, Wednesday, I attempted to shovel my driveway for the third time.Some fun.

Today, like a lot of you, it feels like somebody beat me with a baseball bat.

And driving to work was an adventure. The hill leading away from my home into town was like a bobsled track. Good thing was, the ruts in the ice were so deep, I didn't even have to steer!

Good news on the horizon: The ice is expected to melt by May, prehaps June.
