When you have lived in Arizona for 11 years, and you decide to wait to go Christmas shopping, you forget to consider things like you might get up on the morning of your shopping day, look outside and see this:
About five inches of snow and it's still coming down! (These photos were taken after I tried out the recently purchased snowblower--definitely worth the investment.) Ugh! This is still a learning curve for me--ask Atom about it. He had to walk from the car to the school (not a short walk) for Jet's school program this morning without an umbrella or the hood on his coat--which unzips and was in the coat closet at home. I'm just not used to factoring the weather into my decision-making process, especially when it involves precipitation--a virtual unknown in our former place of residence. All you had to think about there was having sunscreen and sunglasses handy. Next year I'm doing my Christmas shopping in July!

This is why I do a bit of online shopping!!! Good luck! Lucky you with the snowblower!!
Ugh! I hate it when that happens!
We got a refurbished (used and fixed up) snowblower so it cost a lot less. It has a 90-day guarantee so hopefully it will work for long enough to be worth the money. We mostly got it because Niles has a home teaching family and the husband is in a wheelchair and they have a corner lot with lots of sidewalk. He can't do theirs and ours with a shovel and make it to work in SLC on snowy mornings!!
If it makes you feel any better after more years than I can count here, I'm still not that good at factoring in the weather.
