    Default &^%$*&ing SNOW!

    Family left and arrived in Florida to 60 degree temperatures late last night and it's hitting high 70's to low 80's during the day.

    Here in NY I woke up to another 6-8 inches of snow and it's still coming down.

    Good exercise though. My driveway is one huge hill, and between balancing yourself and lifting the snow - I am exhausted already and it's only 8:50am. Probably going to have to repeat the process later, only with a smaller amount.

    For all of you who live in the sunny and warm areas - I hope the sun falls on you today.

    Less than 2 weeks and then Daytona here I come. CAN'T WAIT.

    I love the snow, but this winter is even getting on my nerves. Ready for it to be over.
