Us too. While our 150 foot concrete driveway is heated to melt snow & ice, the county snowplow buries the street area in front of our mailbox, so the US Post Office delivery employee will just drive by. He won't get out of his delivery vehicle under any circumstances; if he can't reach out his window to put the mail in the mailbox, he marks it "undeliverable" and returns it to sender.

So, every time it snows, I'm out with a beast of a snowblower clearing the street area blocked by the county snowplow.

I also need to snowblow around the hot tub, and snowblow the 1500 sf raised trex deck.

But we love snow, skiing and all winter sports. That's why our winter house is in Deer Valley.

I used to be more heat intolerant and my wife was cold intolerant.

In our advanced age (59 for me 54) for her we have switched places!

We currently live in the Alaskan Interior and this morning it's -30, she just took the dog for a walk and I'm in next to the wood stove reading CD.
