Let the payback begin

We're expecting our first significant storm of the winter in my neck of the woods tonight. It looks like it won't be too bad here; the latest forecast is predicting less than a foot of snow by the time all is said and done. Oswego County, this won't be.

But I broke down and had my snow tires put on today. As usual, I'm pretty confident in my ability to handle snowy roads; it's all the other morons out there who have me concerned. But the greatest thing? For the first time in all my years living in the Northeast, I don't have to worry about snow removal!

Last winter, my lease required me to shovel my own driveway -- and I didn't have covered parking, so that added to the hassle. So when I moved in the spring, I made sure to find a place that had covered parking AND snow removal. (Bonus: I don't have to pay for heat at this place, either.)

My bigger concern was finding my boots, which I mounted an unsuccessful search for a couple of weeks ago when we had a very minor storm. I resumed the quest last night and this morning, tearing through a couple of boxes and closets. I finally remembered that the probably were in my car's trunk, where I had stashed them with a couple of other last-minute items from my last move.

(Yes, that was in May. And yes, that's how infrequently I have a need to go into my trunk. I usually put the groceries in the back seat.)

From the looks of it we have about 1 foot of snow here now, and no signs of it letting up. On the plus side our landlord takes care of the snow removal ;)
