      Thanks! The first year, you know…when we got 21 feet of snow, we just had the plow. It was rough! The snow on the sides of the driveway was like 4 feet high. And it was so narrow it scrapped both sides of my truck as I drove down it. Ha!

It has dropped below -40 for 4 nights. 🥶 I've been loading the wood stove all day to save on the natural gas bill.
