Snow!

[QM3steve]

I watched a guy "mow" his driveway with a riding mower. The snow was gone and all that was left on the driveway were the tracks of the mower. Getting up to twelve here tomorrow.

December 8 6:00 PM

It started to snow. The first snow of the season and The wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by The window watching the huge soft flakes drift down From heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So Romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow Covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic Sight! Can there be a more lovely place in The whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've Ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a Boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered Up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got To shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12

The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a Disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- We'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much Snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see Snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such A nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14

Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The Temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything Sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed Up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is The life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and Buried everything again. I didn't Realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, But I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15

20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 Extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants A wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all.

December 16

Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in The driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The Wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very Cruel.

December 17

Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go Anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to Pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but Stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I Should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to Her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20

Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of The damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all Day. The damn snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said They're too busy playing hockey. I think they're Lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about Buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have Another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob Says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22

Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more Inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, It probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes To get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I Had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to Hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of The winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the Asshole is lying.

December 23

Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house This morning. What is she, nuts?!!
Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She Says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24

6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke The shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I Ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow Plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and Beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he Hides around the corner and waits for me to finish Shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 Miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just Been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas Carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25

Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow!
Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26

Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27

Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28

Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29

10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30

Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31

I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8

Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

It seems another ice/snow event will be coming in tonight. Have a VA appointment at 3PM today. Snow plow is ready to rock and roll - need salt. Did you see the cost of salt - yeow it went up by 100% and that's not fare.

City is doing less salting now and the roads are slicker than owl sh_t. Thank God for 4-wheel drives. No good on ice.

Have a safe Holiday and New Years

Well woke up to 3 inchs of fresh powder snow. its 34 degrees and snowing right now. Now that I don't have to drive in it I can appreaciate how beautiful snow can be. it make's everything look clean and bright. I 'm dreaming of a white christmas.

Just had a powdering here in Southern Ohio, but I SURE AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT it is snowing in Calf, and Vegas.

Let them have the fun and enjoyment ( two words that mean the same) Ha Ha, that I had the first 18 years of my life. The snow was so deep that we still had school without delays, still had to go to the store ( beer ) OOPS! Food.

Bet them in Vegas are going to WALMARTS right now to get their winter coats. Why spend more than necessary, right??

Remember in 1978 here in Ohio our youngest was born and we had a Blizzard of 13 to 15 ft of the stuff, but we still managed to get through because of the "dumb asses" with four wheel drive trucks went out and bought snow blades, and guess what? Alot of them still have them beside their garages/barns and havent used them since, but we will get some snow here before long.

What I wouldnt give to be young again with all that snow and no cares in the world.

enough..............

My wife is the office manager at a camp in the Cascades about 12 miles from Ellensburg. She drives in the snow all winter long. Usually from November through March. We both are getting tired of living in snow country. I'm retirement age, so we may move further South.

[revwardoc]

I know how you feel, Keith. My wife and I are looking at property in Virginia.

[QM3steve]

We're getting snow right now. Supposed to be 8-14 by midnight. Should be easy to move as it's not the wet sticky stuff again.

[melody1181]

No snow here just cold. Its something like 18-20 degrees outside. Not as cold as it is there but thats ok with me!

[Packo]
