We're on a well too and I feel your pipe woes. I live in Florida though, so our pipe woes are of a different variety. But when you do get a chance to dig up your pipe, they have these PVC slip-fittings that don't require glue. You simply slide them on over the break and twist them tight. Saved us bocoodles of $ and time, so I had to share that little tidbit.<br /><br />Though snow angels and sledding sound waaay more fun. :) Good luck with all the editing and stay warm!Kris F.

No snow here in Georgia, but we have had temps below freezing. This is problematic because they don't even sell winter gear here. Lots of blankets and layers and I need to restock my sweaters.S.P.

There isn't even any snow on the local ski mountains. Water shortages / restrictions are being predicted for the summer. They're predicted and restrictions are imposed for every summer; it's the only time of year our grass isn't green. (I refuse to waste water on keeping grass green.)<br /><br />Good luck with stitching your story back together after that multichapterectomy! The tighter story will be worth the work.
