Have to say-have never had a cockroach here thankfully. We do have spiders though. We usually just move tthem to another part of the house if they're in the way-not sure I'd be so accommodating for roaches ;p

We've only had a light snowfall, although icy conditions last week. The rest of the country has been getting snow by the bucketload, we've managed to escape so far (I'd like some for photography though)
