3. Nooo! Not ice!

That's the pits. Ice.

Not fond of snow anymore, but them ice storms send me into orbit. We suffered thru four days of no power one year's blizzard. Then two bad enough ice storms when I packed us up and made reservations at an 'inn'. I told husband he could stay back. Ima taking kitkat and we're splitsville. See ya later, bye! He came along.😆
He thinks it's adventuresome, akin to roughing it. No thank you!

The blizzard of '93 we burned wood we had, then 2X4's, some gorgeous white birch tree logs that really upset me [sentimental] and finally last resort helped ourselves to a neighbor's woodpile [he was out of town]. Whatta mess.

The guy next door [we were leasing a two story townhome] had a pipe bust in his dining area ceiling and all the sheetrock came down. After that I said never again. People in some areas where tons of trees fell were without power for weeks. I cannot abide.

There's no one 100% perfect place to live, I don't think.
