1 street: 2 climates


Photos taken this morning!!!



This is the neighbor's house across the street:

SPRING!

This is our house:

WINTER!

These are not even the most dramatic pictures I could have taken! Most of the winter, driveways across the street are clear and dry while we have a couple inches of ice! Don't get me wrong, we would never trade my house and we are buying another north facing lot (go figure) because we are willing to deal with ice and snow for the house and yard we want on a cul-de-sac. I just wish the climates weren't so drastically different! It is a little discouraging when I am really ready for spring! I want to see my tulips and other bulbs emerge.

I love my south facing house! I am so glad we've always found houses facing east and south. I'm glad you are willing to deal with it. I always feel bad for the north facing neighbors.

My yard and driveway are always snow covered long after my neighbor across the street's snow has all melted. :(
