Northeast to get hit hard by snow.

So change the lock already. As long it is in the open position, which it seems you can do from the inside, it can be removed. Go to Home Depot or Lowes or if you really can't do it yourself, call in a locksmith to do it. All you need to know is the Backspace (distance from edge of door to center of large hole in the door)
Note: Any competent locksmith can easily make a key for your existing lock, with very little trouble.

it's an old door... basically the entire thing needs to be replaced and I'm not going to pay for it out of pocket myself.

hopefully this incident is the kick in the ass my landlord needs, though, after talking about wanting to get it done all fall.

Just got back inside, took a little over two hours to clear two five-car driveways and one two-car driveway, plus four cars. We need a second snowblower.

~2' in Stamford CT.

Wife and I took 3 hours to drive from JFK to Stamford last night starting ~4pm. We came in on one of the last flights in to JFK. Landing scared the shit out of me, one of my worst flying experiences.

The drive back was one of the worst I've ever experienced, even after 22 years growing up in MN and going back there at least once per winter.

Don't throw stones when your house is made of glass too. Here in Toronto they issue "cold weather alerts" when the temps hit, wait for it, -12 C, that's about 10 F. WTF? Also when 5 cm of snow (2 inches) fall "snow condition" alerts are issued, pathetic isn't it?

What's wrong with these idiots? -12C is normal in this city, we get that about 80 times a winter, and we have snowstorms all the time, about 5-6 a year, so why all this noise with this petty stuff?

because Toronto didn't get 40" of snow like we did.

besides, Toronto is full of wussies anyway.
