We ended up with 9" of snow. I know that's not a lot for you guys up north but it is for middle Tennessee.
I've shoveled more snow today than I have in the last 40 years combined.

Yeah jimicrk, if I got permission to pick up the fresh not-overly beat up road killed deer around here, I'd have plenty of venison but I'm about the only one that eats the stuff straight (and its not my favorite flavored meat--bbq sauce always helps) except my one kid that will eat some. He likes meat sticks a lot (so do I) but I probably don't need to eat tons more salt. Never spent the effort to make sticks and sausage on my own. Maybe I would in another situation.
I could also shoot my share of deer walking from my place back towards the "big" city down along the river or up and down through the hills but some of that is owned by a big ultiltiy compnay that has a wonderful de facto (I guess they allow some "special" bow hunters on the place) and some good area that's in the big city's winter park area. Some of the best deer territory is actually in the city boundaries itself that's not developed or in some sort of industrial use. They actually started a lottery system for anterless deer archery tags for this part of the city but I haven't done archery hunting in a long time. Maybe next year...
And I could have shot deer from my back yard as my area gets built out. Last time I saw any right here was one night a round Christmas time when a group of five crossed the new street behind my house just off of the street light area. Kind of fun to watch. Of course the lead doe stopped and raised her hoof to flip me off as we watched. They like doing that especially when I'm on the last few miles of coming home after a multi-hundred mile hunting trip to some of the more rural areas of my state
That's very accurate in my case this year as well. I can sit all day surrounded by apples, Scent lures, Gallons of Mineral lick liquid spread around over the past few months,use Grunt wheeze and bleat calls and Nothing. Then I head out after dark Get in the Truck start driving home and see multiple Doe standing by the the side if the road just looking looking at me like Ha HA City-Slicker not this timeI may have to look for a new spot.
PS the Snow was Too Much after all 2 feet here and a huge 8-10 ordeal total to shovel it out of the way and nowhere to put it.
Here's a pic of The new WTC tower in NYC from the easternmost part of my town here in NE Jersey two months ago or so. This is our section of the NJ Meadowlands.right behind me, while taking this pic, lie two scrap yards. One for cars and one that takes metal scrap. Hurricane Sandy all but decimated this place. it was once teaming with fish and muskrats.

This comment is a little late but, if you invest in a cheap plow, or even a snowblower, you will make bank..
In Maine we had an big ice storm in 1998, lots of broken trees and branches, power outages for a long time. So my stepdad, myself and a couple of his buddies went around town offering tree removal and cleanup, door-to-door. In 6 hours we made over $3500. After gas/oil for the chainsaws, trucks and a wood chipper, that's a hefty payday.

chain saws

Ha ha...your a funny guy. Asking people to use commonsense an to prepare for winter! LOL
Craziness!
Here's my answer tho...I live on a sandbar an am protected from the weather that infects the "normal" people on the mainland. Plus...my county doesn't even own a plow. If I asked about snow chains I'd likely get laughed all the way across the bridge.
Your answer lies in a classic Doors song. People are strange.

I do have chains and a wood stove but 9" of snow is not the norm around here. It's usually 3 or 4" at the most.

I should clarify, by people I meant.."town, city, etc" governments. I blame it on the tacos.
I over indulged, an **** it was worth it.
Sirscrapalot - Snow...the only four letter word you can use on TV regardless of time or show.
