OT: Shoveling snow...

[Possum]

Here in San Diego, I've only seen it snow twice in my lifetime. Both times were just light flurries of tiny flakes, that melted as soon as they hit the ground.

In the mountains east of here, however, we often get snow. Julian is a popular resort town in the mountains. After a good snow, we often drive up to Julian, play in the snow til our toes get cold, then drive into town and drink hot apple cider, then go home where it's warm

Perhaps that's why real estate here is so hideously expensive. I was recently informed that my 50-year old house, 2 bedrooms and one bath, 1000 sq ft exactly, is now worth over $400K...
