Ed,
I bought a house in Andover and arrived with my U-Haul and cars at 1:00
A.M. the night after the great Halloween Blizzard of 1991. I had to shovel
snow until about 3:00 A.M. just to get the truck off the street and
another 2 hours to get the cars in the other driveway. About sunup I
collapsed on the living room floor and slept while my wife and kids Got
all the small stuff out of the cars and truck.
There is snow and there is way too much snow at the wrong time.
Iowa was like an ice sculpture wonderland that night, but could there have
possibly been a worse time to pull up to a new house after a 2,000 mile
drive??

Bill, stories like the above are adventures when you are young, but they are
sheer misery when you are old. It seems I have spent most of my life cursing
this g.d. Minnesota weather. I dream of tropical climates where it is always
about 85 degrees in the shade and no freaking wind at all.
