I remember when I was young, the winters here in MN brought a lot more bite to them than they do now. I remember my brother, my friends, and myself would dig trenches through the snow in our parents yards to have snowball fights. I remember days when it got so cold, cars wouldn't start, and so school was cancelled, because of cold not snow. Now though, I rarely even have to shovel my driveway we get so little snow, I own a plow and a tractor, but regret buying the plow, and it saddens me.
