I'm with Red in wishing to maintain control of my faculties.
We're under a winter weather advisory here overnight. Snow, sleet and freezing rain. 
Had my coal bunker filled Friday and we're set for heat until March bby. 
Last winter was colder than a witch's heart and I see no significant global warming change for this year either.
Contemplating getting a snow blower and saving my already totaled out back. |
I am with Red on that one now, too and have been for 24 years.
The sleet and freezing rain I can live without, bring on the snow!
I still have almost half of my wood order to get and piled in the basement.
IMHO, global warming is a figment of someones imagination and a topic I try to stay away from.
If you get a snow blower, get a two stage with electric start (plug it into house hydro and hit the starter button, they still have a recoil starter too) and use only high test (gas without ethanol) in it. Ethanol will rot out your fuel lines and gum up the carburetor in one season.
Remember, you aren't getting any younger and we don't need you having a heart attack after/during shoveling.
