Adjust.
Move on.
Or, move out.

Love it or leave it!
As dan says, people and animals have been dealing with the climate in the midwest for the entire 4,000 year history of the earth. If they can handle it, so can you.
Normally I am totally indifferent to Winter. Shoveling snow is the Winter equivalent of mowing the lawn. This year has been hard, but I still don't whine about it.
I'm afraid the temperature extremes are causing our already cracked driveway to buckle pretty badly. It sucks because the driveway abuts our house. The buckling creates a low spot right up against our house where puddles form. And we already have a cracked basement wall in that area, probably caused by this same problem over the years. It's just getting worse now. It could get expensive to fix, I bet. Mud jacking probably also isn't an option since its right up against the basement wall. Suggestions?
