I am awaiting knee replacement surgery so she has picked up the slack of what is usually a team effort. And this February has had more than enough snow, after such a mild December and January. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Wajsman Sent: Friday, February 15, 2019 10:13 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Yakima Snows I like the last one, very peaceful. But what impressed me most was the fourth one. If I asked my wife to shovel snow while I took photos of her, she would whack me with the shovel. This is of course hypothetical; the only time we have lived in a place with significant regular snowfall was Buffalo, but we did not have a car there and lived in an apartment building, so never had to shovel snow.
