Guess what? It's snowing out............again.
I wrote an article last winter about my utter distaste for this particular form of fluffy white precipitation but just thought I would reiterrate what a thoroughly annoying thing snow is in particular and winter ios in general.
School closings...you can keep them. Parking bans...their all yours. Shovels, ice melt, gloves, hats, boots, long underwear, scarves, winter jackets...I hate them all. Skiing and sledding and toboganning and tubing...yeah...just ridiculous ways to break bones and jack up medical bills.
And why is it that weather guys on the evening news all act like virgin teenagers just about to lose their cherry every time that a storm is going to dump another foot of snow on us and aggravate the crap out of me? I mean, it has to be the only profession where you can be wrong 50% of the time and get a raise at the end of the year. The self importance these guys prop themselves up on because they can look at a radar and say It's gonna snow or rain or be sunny is just amazing.
I hate them all.
Winter and snow shoveling is nothing more than the Devil's way of torturing people in cold weather climates. If jack Bauer ever wanted to get me to talk he wouldn't need pharmacuatical torture or a gun to my head. All he'd have to do is drop me in the middle of Canada in January with a shovel and no other way home. I'd be giving up government secrets in seconds at just the thought of that threat.
My back hurts just thinking about having to shovel again. Is there anything that drives any of your more nuts than to just finish shoveling out your driveway and seeing a plow turn onto your street with a big ass grin on his face?
Snow, ice, wind chill, sub freezing temperatures...ugh! I think winter will eventually be the death of me. I hate this stuff.
