>>>Someone forgot to tell global warming that most homes in North Carolina have heat pumps and heat pumps don't work well below 37 degrees F. That is the balancing point for most. They also have to de-ice. They are designed for temperatures around 50 degrees F and will work down into the teens, but at a point, there is no longer enough heat to extract from the cold air for anything above 60 degrees indoors. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

>>After living out here in the middle of nowhere for 15 years we finally broke down and bought a snowblower today. We've had about 30 inches of snow so far this winter which is 3x more than we got in any of the first 10 winters here. Last few years it just gets colder and snowier. Yep - global warming is about as real the Democrats can imagine..

What does?

>I am all for indulging myself but I draw the line at snowblowers. For me there truly is no rationale other than utter sloth. My driveway is probably 15 feet wide and 40 feet long. I have to shovel it, and the curving walk to the front door, 4-6 times a year. Big whoop. It's good exercise and I actually enjoy it. Same with mowing the lawn. Anything that boils down to creating order out of disorder, I like.

>You probably have a lot bigger area to clear of snow, which changes the equation.
