Funny 
Snow Story 



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 *** 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
It is 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 
livingroom!

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 **** 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 ****. By the time I got undressed, 
****ed 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 
*******  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 *****  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 ***** 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 ***.  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
Feels so good. 
I just love those  little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to 
the  
bed?
