So not Florida

Because the house did not sell in the fall, we committed to staying in Massachusetts for the winter, living in the house and working on a series of minor improvements and repairs. And one major upgrade: replacing the countertop with beautiful new quartz.

We missed Florida. We missed the weather and we missed the camaraderie of our fellow RVers at Seminole Campground in North Fort Myers. We compensated for the camaraderie by having local friends and family, but there is no way we could compensate for the weather. Massachusetts winter weather sucks, unless you can hibernate or enjoy skiing, neither of which applies to us. But at least, until this weekend, we had very little snow. I had spent a total of maybe 15 minutes shoveling and throwing down salt.

That all changed on Monday, with the arrival of Winter Storm Juno. It stormed for 36 hours and produced about 26 inches of snow. My shoveling total increased to about 4 hours.

This is so not Florida.
