Living on the cold side of the street

 Across the street--on the north side of Cornwall Avenue--all the snow has melted in the front yards.

On our side--the south side--front yards are still covered by snow.

I've never figured out why that is--but it always is.

Living on the cold side of the street means it's difficult to put out the trash and recycle bins.

Tuesday I was having trouble getting the recycling up on 5 inches or more of snow. A guy walking down the street came over. He pulled and I pushed and we did it.

What a nice guy. He was walking on the warm side--the only side that has a sidewalk. 

I should have given him a hug--cold as my hug might be.
