If you'd had to shovel out a driveway, a walkway, and a mailbox from 42.5 inches (1.07 meters) of snow over the past two months, you'd be sick of it, too!

Fortunately, we get winters like this only every few years or so. Last year, I think I shoveled only once and there wasn't a lot of snow with that storm. My kids didn't have any days off from school. Although, they've only had two half-days off this winter, due to weekend storms and good plowing. They were really hoping for today off, but no dice.
