Snow really does not bother me much , storms of over 2 feet happen at least once a year. Ice on the other hand can be tough to deal with. The hardest part is going down the mountain which is 7 miles through state park and watershed land with no houses on it if you do get stuck, on top of that the road is all curves. Working outside was easier when I was a bit younger but now in my mid fifties it is getting a bit harder just cannot keep the feet and hands warm enough.
