   There are occasional tornadoes. I actually saw one destroy a school gym   
   about a half mile from here many years ago.  A son was driving and it   
   was coming towards us maybe a couple of hundred yards away.  I told him   
   to floor it and we had no problem.   
      
   I started up the snow thrower for the fist time in 3 years with no   
   problem right after snow stopped before freeze.  Hit a newspaper buried   
   in the snow on the driveway and it took me and my neighbor nearly a half   
   hour to remove it.  Winter is no fun but I am not sure I would like an   
   endless summer.
