Surviving winter here is easy. Staying sane while surviving requires a few coping skills. After a record snow in November (25″ in less than 2 weeks), December is just rainy and melting. I don’t think that will last. We did get some snow shoeing in earlier this month though. So far we haven’t planted our faces in the snow. We’re good for about 30 minutes before we have to stop, drop and die of exhaustion. The deal is that if needed, the survivor can cannibalize the other until spring when they can walk back to the house. (Note to self: BBQ sauce)
