Sure, I have already fallen flat on my face twice this month on icy walkways. OK, I was blinded by snow going from Oswego to Fulton on State Route 481 four times already. And I have been without phone service since yesterday morning and got my car stuck in my own driveway twice because the cloud over Minetto seems to be especially dark. Despite these winter blues, I feel safer here in Snow Land than I did in the mid-Atlantic during December. My neighbors and compadres know what to do with the white stuff.
Every municipality is funded and prepared to remove snow.
I have never seen a bulldozer sent out to clear the roads here. And as far as the big yellow bruise on my arm for falling flat on my behind, I have no one to blame but myself. I didn't kitty litter my steps. I had started to forget the rules. Living in the south had made me soft.
