K-Chuck Radio: Snowstorm? What snowstorm?!?
Here’s how I deal with a snowstorm. I shovel the front walk of my porch, I shovel the portion of the sidewalk, I drop some rock salt on the stairs so visitors don’t slip, and then I crank up all the poppy-bubblegum songs I can find on my iTunes player. And since it’s a bitter,…
