Probably good to have a few challenges during your Minnesota winters... helps you "keep your edge" and not get bored with you fulfilling, easy, retired life- ha ha

I loved this article on winter. I married a guy who is a minister; now we live in Ohio where the winter isn’t anything like Minnesota. Your article filled a void in my life.

Glad I could help.

I’ve purchased my last piece of equipment. When this snowblower dies, and it’s old, that’s it. Your story confirms my choice, so thank you!

Does it help to know I almost got the Mercedes stuck in the sand on the beach?

Brent Olson's avatar

It just reinforces my concern for your welfare. Hang in there buddy...it's my experience that sand will freeze pretty soon and be solid going.

Should I put the convertible top up just to be safe?

Brent Olson's avatar

Yes. And put a bag of galoshes and insulated coveralls in the trunk.

Galoshes, that’s a casserole dish in Maine I believe.
