DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER
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! Shovelled for the first time in years and
felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This
afternoon the snowplough 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
neighbour 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 neighbour.
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 shovelling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The
snowplough came back this afternoon and buried everything again.. I didn't
realize I would have to do quite this much shovelling, 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
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's back on, but had
another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shovelling! Took all
day. The damn snowplough came by twice. Tried to find a neighbour 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 pee. By the time I got undressed,
peed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has
a plough 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 snowplough, I broke the shovel. Thought I
was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives
that snow plough, I'll drag him through the snow by his ***** and beat him
to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits
for me to finish shovelling 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 snowplough.
December 25
Merry Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The
idea of shovelling makes my blood boil.. God, I hate the snow! Then the
snowplough 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 plough 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 shovelling.
January 8
Feel
so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am
I tied to the bed?

One advantage to our climate though, it does help keep the freeloaders to a minimum. As far as being a sadist, probably more crazy as we wonder why we live here every winter ourselves.

As you can see my two favorite girls, my wife and mistress "they both get along" and the mistress is still warm and dry inside. Notice the snow outside on the vehicles. She loves the showroom for now. Can't wait to bring her home.

Sometimes I get mad at being here in California because of the crazy politics.
I guess if I decide to move... Arizona or Florida might be a consideration.
Hats off to your guys that live like Vikings in the cold.

Yup, its tough in upstate NY too. Toys all put away for the duration. Harley covered, my soon-to-be ex-C6 covered and on life support. But, January is over, and I see that as a big plus. A ways to go but the days are getting longer too. 
Trying really hard here to be positive.
