Ok, I know I live in Maine, but this winter has been ridonkulous. I just got done shoveling out yesterday from 7 inches of snow, and we're supposed to get up to another 10 inches over tonight and through the day tomorrow. I would like to file a formal complaint with the appropriate party but I don't believe in god. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Nexa

I tried that but the head of the Local 42 is hiding out in a volcano lair and won't answer his satellite phone.

Yes. I will insist he drive four hours, shovel my driveway, then drive home.
Besides, I don't usually need to shovel. Two of my neighbors seems to be having some unspoken battle over who can get to my driveway to plow first after each storm. I don't know either of them, but I'll have to make them some cookies to deliver after it warms up.

I just got back from a trip to Massachusetts last week. First day there we got hit with 10 inches of snow. The day after I was leaving they got hit again. And while they toted it was a high of 29 while I was there, they all lied. Even Xavier, who'd been whining that we have no snow here to do cool stuff in, such as snowball fights, didnt want to go out and play in it as it was too cold.
Point is, I gleefully hopped on that plane home, and was reminded yet again why I moved away. Wheeee!

Just a suggestion. Good to see you are in a good neighborhood though. Here it is the "Who can wake up the earliest and snowblow their driveway, while making the most noise?" contest.
And the winner so far is 3:20 AM. No, I do not partake in this contest. I just wait until about 9 or so AM and just plow it.

We got.. ummm... a quarter inch. I may or may not shovel depending on how brightly the sun shines on the driveway today. There was already clear spots of asphalt to catch the heat since I still had salt on there from earlier.

Smash thinks she's like, wicked hawt. This is why I don't take compliments from him very seriously.

She has a very strange androgynous look. Don't get me wrong, I'd still hit it.
Which I suppose says all sorts of things about me.

Well, the simplest I can think of is to go to Wallmart and buy 50 hairdryers. Take out the plugs, and install mini windmills on each one on them to make them hydropowered. Put them up on a rack, a big one, which you place above the driveway, facing down. Install a drainage system that takes the melted snow from your driveway, up on to the roof, and makes the resulting water trickle down the little mills of the hairdryers.
All you need is a bit of tap water to get the system running, and voila! Not only that, but if you're late in the morning you can also get a super-quick and mega-efficient hairdrying as you go to your car.
And Al Gore will be pleased.

Don't worry. Global warming should kick in any day now.

Yeah, but I hear global warming will cause the next ice age, which means it'll just make things worse.

I love that smug feeling when everyone else is complaining about the cold.
Looks like I picked a good weekend to go to Sunday River!
The drive up's gonna suck, though

I made mine help shovel the driveway the other day. Builds character.

Back when I was a kid in Northern Maine, around March or so,we'd all get a little loopy because of the months of snow (usually it started in late September and ended in April). We would use denial! Basically, we'd bundle up a bit on top, wear a hat but also wear shorts on bottom. We'd pretend it was Spring. It was mind over matter. Also, you can get drunk and go snowmobiling. Most people in your area are alcoholics. That should clue you in to the appropriate way of coping with the weather.

Haha I was evil. After listening to months of whining, I threw him outside midwhine about the cold. Grandmas mittens on and only khaki pants. Then I locked him out of the house and told him to play and like it damn it!
He did.
