I was scooping up the latest snowfall and it was quite cold out and the packed snow underneath lifted up in big chunks ... so what else was I supposed to do with them?
Born in 1948 (so I am a baby boomer) I remember living in a house that had kerosene lanterns and a wood stove and water had to be hauled in. In the winter it was easier because we simply had to bring in snow and melt it!
