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)
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?

Mrs. Mecomber and
Breezey have played too!
Loping Loubob as well!

Meme on books and a post on e-drive happy now? I wrote about my pretty baggie.... man i love that thing...(sigh) I'm a tad strange don't you think?
I especially liked your "hibernate" pattern... same here. I had to rescue my husband today. Roads were bad but I was surprised how well I handled it-- I still have it in me, I tell ya!
I participated, too. Never one to let a good meme down.
By the way, how do you pronounce that? MEEEM? Mee-Mee?
Breezey, thanks for that
Mrs. M, cool, I will have a look!
And actually I looked it up and it is meem....
1. What’s the winter tool you can’t do without? Do clothes count?
2. The winter tool you could do without?
3. Your favorite music to listen to when stuck in the house in a snowstorm? Snow - whats that?
4. The winter sound you least like to hear? Wind howling
5. Your driveway shoveling pattern: vertical (up and down)? horizontal (pushing from side to side)? Or any which way?"Who on earth shovels dirt roads?
It's MEEEM! I knew it! That's how I've been saying it (or thinking it-- I think the words as I write). Good things it's that pronunciation, though, for my sake. I doubt I'd be able to change my thinking from MEEEEM if it was really MEEMEE.
OCG, "Snow, what's that?" Oh, how I wish I could say that too. lol
Mrs. M, it drove me nuts too until I looked it up...just had to know.
I stealing this! Why on earth would you have to "rake" a roof?
Loubob, folks with low eaves sometimes use a funky aluminum tool to pull excess snow off them. Never tried it myself. Can't wait to read your answers from up there where winter takes itself seriously.
