no kidding, as a child i NEVER had a snow day (but of course, i lived in different climate)

i was telling the wife we havent had a "real" winter in 10, 15 years now

she reminded me of the time i cleared the driveway, one snowy morning
backed the car out of the drive and into the street

but there was so much snow in the street it lifted the car up and all 4 tires were off the ground

so i dug it out, ran it back into the garage and started walking to work
turns out that was only about 8 years ago

Really haven't had a bad winter here in a long time and thankful for that.
 
Don’t know if it was because I was a kid in school or the winters were really worse when I was a kid. Maybe it’s just the way we remember things. But I can remember massive piles of snow we would play on. The windrow on the sides of the street blocked all but the roofs of the houses and almost a tunnel shoveled out to get to the street. Never payed that much attention to the temperature, it was cold we dressed accordingly. Big mitts, touque, bush packs, parka. Went outside played in the snow till we were frozen and slopping wet. Then in the basement to get clothes off and then hot cocoa. None of this glued to the PS4 and whinning about how cold it is. Old lady would literally kick us out of the house.
 
Hell of a day my father in law is in the hospital he had a small stroke and they found a brain tumor so waiting to hear how bad it is.

My mom did the same and if we came in the house and made a mess with our wet shoes she would hang us up on a coat hook by our belts.
Truly she did.
 
Well my surgery got postponed again for two weeks because of the shutdown. The good news is that I'm on the top of the list

Look into making the most of the time he has

Don't take this the wrong way, but consider either palliative care or hospice care

The easiest way to explain it is that his doctors goal up to this point may have been a number (having him achieve the highest age possible)

While palliative and hospice doctors say "forget at what age he dies, let's make sure he enjoys life till that day"


Probably the best decision we ever made for my mother in law is put her on hospice care

Think I'd be more than happy to take care of him and really at this point I have no idea what to do other than be here for him. His wife's decision at this point.
