>>If you want snow, I can can send as much as you want. In fact, they have collected so much snow from the streets in my local town, that they call the snow "mountain" the Alps. They don't think all the snow will melt before July. They even have been forced to shovel the cross country ski tracks, the last years they had to use artificial snow to get enough.

>Note the bolded sentence. Snow is a nice memory, and I actually like a bit of shoveling now and then, keeps you fit in the winter. And I like it the way it is... a memory :).

>I already feel the spring here - a week ago we saw first blossoming trees. Though I know it'll be a month more until it gets really nice. In Serbian, month of March is called mart, and the weather manager for the month is granny Marta, a capricious woman with incredible mood swings. I've learned that her counterpart here is equally crazy, though not so to give you 18C on 1st of March, then knee-deep snow on 3rd, as it often happens there.

Shovelling a bit of snow is OK, but when you have snow to above your knees, and you have to throw the snow more than 7 feet up to get it over the edge, and your back threatens to kill you, it's enough. On Wednesday we were four men to clear the roof of my office building, 10,100 square foot with between two and three foot of snow. Luckily we could just throw it all down, but still it took us four hours. The last two weeks I have shovelled snow by hand for about twenty hours. Did I mention that I long for the summer? :-)
