Sharon – It’s hard to tell at this point. In November, our bill was less. In December, it was more. I’m going to have to look at the average temps during the same periods. Unfortunately, our gas company doesn’t do that. My electric company does, so I may look at them to help see how much we saved.

I’m curious how you’re doing with saving money on heating your house after you rearranged the furniture and “closed off” one of the bedrooms. Are you seeing a difference in your gas bill?

The worst part of the big snow falls is the temperatures drop like crazy afterwards and it gets windy which makes shoveling extra fun.

Hope you’re hubby’s search goes well.

To be fair, I’m averaging the two feet of snow. There was one foot in the lowest part and close to three that was left by Mr. Snowplow.

Oh – and my nice neighbor guy helped out with the worst stuff (the clumps left by Mr. Snowplow). His truck and plow did in less than two minutes what would have taken me at least half an hour to do.

DC Smith – Usually by the this time of the year, I abandon the scooper (no place to put the snow). I use my trusty snow shovel that I have had for the past 12 years and toss it as far as I can (and prepare for the snow sprinkle backlash)

Wow, $400 a month sounds like a lot, but if it’s good coverage then I suppose it’d be worthwhile.

Two feet of Tricia’s light, fluffy powder is a much different substance than the soupy mess you guys call snow in Atlanta. If you try to heave it off to the side with a shovel, it’ll kinda hang there in the air like a sparkly fog… then blow back into the driveway.

Ya gotta kinda push it wit da scooper.

Just ran across your blog. Good luck with everything. As the previous “guy” commented, I’m north of Atlanta and we got around a quarter inch of snow and it’s already melted.

Two feet of snow???? We've gotten about 1-2 inches here in Atlanta and it is a major news story right now. If this happened during a weekday, the city would be shut down.

Good luck in your husband’s job search. I hope he finds something great.
