One Thing For Sure. I Do Not Miss This...

I lived in Sweden at my uncles farm several winters while going to school, we cleared the snow with the tracktor, not a with shovel be there all day and the tracktor was always parked in it's shed and always with the bucket facing the doors that opened in not out that way we could start clearing over night snow, before we could fire the darnd thing we had to use a special heater under the motor to heat the oil and the radiator water mixed with kerosene that was drained every night and poured back in come morning the Diesel fuel was also drained and stored in a special heated container, one winter we did not use the front door or the kitchen door to go out of the house we used the balcony door on the second floor because of the snow drifts, we start using skis some time in September, ice forms earlly and when you see the thermometer at -40 celcius (-40 fareheight) at 09:30 when it becomes light and then we get a veritable heat wave arround 13:00 of maybe -30 celcius.

Do I hate cold, yes never again I tolerate winter in Mexico since I do not have to work outside ever again, I am now gainfully unemployed (retiered) and now we are having a very cold fall and lets see what winter brings, current temp in the garden is a balmy +10 celcius all the mountains arround have a dusting of snoww.

So bundle up with a good sarape (blanket) and a good cup of chocolate abuelita.

Que pasen buenas noches rostizando Castañas
