When we were planning to move to the Capital District all those years ago, the one thing people warned me about, again and again, was how tough the winters are here. And they weren’t kidding.
I’ve toughened up over the years, turning from soft city dweller scared of three inches of snow coming from London, England to hardy upstate New Yorker where only a severe blizzard with white-out conditions would stop me going out. I think I have only cancelled one coffee night with my girlfriends this winter!
But, boy oh boy, have I had “cabin fever” big time...
