Meme from NYCO

This probably won't be much fun if you live down south, but NYCO cooked up a pretty good meme for those of us that live in the snowy regions.

Here it is, straight from NYCO with my answers below:

"Winter Questions:

I haven’t ever done the “blog meme” thing before (i.e., “Friday Five,” five questions that everyone is supposed to blog about on Friday - it’s a friendly way of getting blog traffic to circulate) but here’s some winter questions and answers. Feel free to tackle these questions on your own blog, and I will add a link to your post.

1. What’s the winter tool you can’t do without?

2. The winter tool you could do without (i.e., find unnecessary or silly)?

3. Your favorite music to listen to when stuck in the house in a snowstorm?

4. The winter sound you least like to hear?

5. Your driveway shoveling pattern: vertical (up and down)? horizontal (pushing from side to side)? Or any which way?"

Answers from Northview:

1) The Frothingham Free Library

2) Roof rake (our roof is about thirty feet high-at the bottom)

3) Emerson Drive, (of course)

4) The wind thumping and banging my bedroom wall and slapping the bird feeders around.

5) I hope and pray that my driveway is "shoveled" by a man with a skid steer. If not I rely on 4-wheel drive or hibernation.

Your turn-how do you handle the interminable days of winter?
