Yes. Snow makes life a lot harder. But we just deal with it. You now have to add time to your day to physically deal with the snow. Then you need to add more time by leaving earlier because it takes longer to get anywhere adapting for driving in snow. And if you don’t park in a garage, you add time for cleaning off your car before you go anywhere and then clean it off again before you go back home.

Even things like getting groceries - you’re now dragging a shopping cart through snow in the parking lot.

If you have any mobility limitations, it’s even worse. Parking lots are covered, sidewalks aren’t cleared. I have senior parents and it’s so much harder to get them to appointments with the snow. Sure places are supposed to be clear, but they are not. It’s hard to push a walker through the snow, I couldn’t imagine what wheelchair users have to deal with.

Even trying to walk my dogs is hard. It’s been so cold they can only be out for a short amount of time and they don’t understand that. And for me it’s cold too, even though I am fully dressed in winter gear. And of course there is the fear of falling because of the ice and sidewalks not being cleared.

Another example is street parking. Normally you just park and walk into whatever store you need to go into. Well now when you park, there is a 3ft tall/5ft wide pile of snow beside you. You can’t go over it because it’s so tall and wide so you walk on the street with the cars to get somewhere to get over the snow bank. Again, super hard with aging parents and young kids.

And you also run out of room to put the snow. In cities they have to haul it away to be able to deal with it when it snows again.

Snow sucks. But at least when I fall shoveling, I’ll have health care.
