Let's start over......

Did you see the pictures I posted? It is beautiful and the really weird thing is...no matter how depressing it was to wake up to another 6" of fresh snow and have to shovel/plow/scrape yet again...every time it would snow I would look out at the trees and buildings all covered in a fresh layer and think "How pretty". Then I'd bundle up and shovel/plow/scrape yet again!! I think it did depress a lot of folks, especially those who are new to these parts. I was born and raised very near here so I know what the weather is capable of!

If I lived where it was a regular thing, it would be different. Here, no one knows how to deal with it, it's so rare. It cripples us. We have no equipment or anything. However, one of the most beautiful sounds to me is the sound of snow falling. Very soothing to me.
It is very peaceful to walk out in the quiet forest with the snow whispering down around you. Not another noise anywhere, just snow. However the avalanche we heard one night when we lived in Juneau was a bit on the creepy side! It was dark and we had just gotten home and were out in our driveway. We lived about 2 miles from a mountain (appropriately called Thunder Mountain!) and it had just snowed about 12" that day. The avalanche started with a sort of rumbling sound, it was so clear sounding we could actually hear the snow crunch (you know the crunching sound it makes when you walk on snow?) we could hear that from the snow sliding over itself! We weren't an any danger, we were far enough away from the mountain, but not being able to see it was a little eerie!

Email them and bitch them out. Maybe they'll send you more shirts for free.

While there are hardly anymore true solid oak doors (or solid "insert wood of choice here" doors), the doors I monkey with are either custom made/carved true solid core doors of different wood or solid core veneered doors - both are quite heavy in an 8' application. 90% of my work is high end stuff.

This SO reminds me of my sisters Jack Russell. I saw this last week on Leno and figured I would share:
