Things you "do" & "do not" want to see in your stocking?

One of my requirements is to live within delivery distance of a Costco or other superstores for those snowy days when I don’t want to leave the cave.

Thank you both for helping me refine my needs list for the new condo.

Something else I want to see in my stocking is some lemongrass, lavendar, coconut scented bars of soap.

There's another option. Many of the smaller snow plow vendors take on residential clients and will remove snow on either a contractual basis or a per push (as needed) basis. I'm sure there are a ton of them where you're looking. The key is to get it set up in advance of the first snow. Not all vendors will be taking on new clients and not all vendors will work residential properties because the money lies in parking lots and big commercial properties.

You can build in requirements like having all of your driveways and doorways plowed/shoveled and for them to salt afterwards so the remaining bits leftover won't be icy and slippery for you. A lot of vendors use salt that is colored so it would be easy to see if they've dropped some, even if it's still snowing.

When you find another place that you like, ask them what their snow protocol is and what is their responsibility versus yours.

For thread compliance, I'd like to NOT see snow....at all...this season but that is sooo beyond unlikely (and not just because we've already had a snow storm here before Halloween) that maybe I would be happy with some warm jammie pants. Can't have enough of those here.
