That's hilarious Mike! That about sums it up!

2.5 years ago, we moved from a condo with a driveway barely big enough for one car, to a larger home with four car driveway. To top it off, we have a sidewalk in front of our house. So not only do we have to shovel the drift from the plow clearing the road, but we have to clear drifts on either side of the sidewalk because they plow the sidewalk too.

Our first winter in the house, I suggested to my husband that we buy a snow-blower for the driveway and walkway to the house. I have asthma, so I can't shovel all that snow. My husband didn't want to spend the money on a snow-blower and promised me that he would do the shovelling. He lied.

Last year, we didn't have the money to buy a snow-blower because we had done so many renovations to the house. Luckily, we didn't have very much snow.

This year we still don't have the money. Hubby's job may be on the line and we're cutting our expenses just in case he ends up unemployed. At least if he's unemployed he'll have lots of time to shovel the snow!

Next year, I'm buying the damn snow-blower. So I totally sympathize with the guy in the story.

Adam, enjoy the snow while you're still able to enjoy the snow. It may take a few years, but eventually you'll become cold and bitter like the rest of us.

Oh, and Mike's advice about the 4x4 is right. My last car was all-wheel drive. It got me though many snow storms and even a flood, where other cars were stalled out in the water. A 4x4 is great to cut through the white stuff, but if you're on ice, you're as helpless as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
