I never heard of anyone dying of a heart attack while shoveling gators out of their driveway.
Mom's cousin is 78, and after this winter he swears he'll never live in Oregon another winter. And that's in the valley where it rarely snows, rain yes, but snow, no.
I've lived in snow, and I'll take gators and hurricane possibilties, over the CERTAINTY of snow azz deep!
It's just like rain, only a helluva lot colder.
