...this sounds like the "perfect storm"...a huge snowstorm, neighbors gone, semi-rural area...I can sense your frustration..
Naples was right about the trucks, and we certainly get them , but I live in Cambridge, MA, not a rural area. And we also get some neighborhood kids, but their shoveling prices are, well, a WEE bit more than what I charged decades ago. $50 for a driveway, $25 for a sidewalk??? No wonder there weren't many takers...
Incidentally, I have a friend named "Yukiko", and I wouldn't want her stuck in the snow either..
Thanks, That is not my name, but it is the name of one of my St Bernards who died many years ago. My last last St Bernard Tulip died in Sept 2008. As I am a widow, if one of them had been here with me, I would have felt a whole lot safer and definitely warmer.
I'm not exactly sure what category this would fall under, but I've basically come to the conclusion that my favorite winter climate would have the following:
1. Cold enough that a 45-50 degree feels warm
2. Mild enough that there are occasional 45-50 degree days
I guess that would probably fall somewhere in-between the cold and snowy category and the cold to mild and somewhat snowy category.
blah, snow and cold is overrated. give me mild or warm. i think most who voted for the cold are just trying to justify where they live. most people hate cold weather, unless of course you're a polar bear. cold is anti-human. that is all. carry on.
I prefer a climate with lots of birch, hemlock, pine, fir, and maple forests. That basically means I feel the most comfortable in northern New England, and the Upper Midwest.
I know that when I see these tree types that the I am in zone 3-5 with 60+ inches of snow on average per winter.

The heat is overrated IMO. I like the five seasons (including the mud season) and highs in the 70s during the middle of summer.
How do you lump European winters with the winters of Southern California and Arizona? Southern California and Arizona have very similar winters, both significantly warmer and sunnier than any place in Europe, except portions of Cyprus, Sicily, and extreme southern Portugal and Spain.

She looks for threads just to bash FL and put NY on a pedestal.
