> December 9

> We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow

> Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a

> The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a

> We'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on
> Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much

> December 15

> 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4

> Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go

> December 20

> Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of

> Day. The 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 stuff 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 piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and
> Dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to

> he's 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 sob who drives that snow
> Plow, I'll drag him through the snow 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 snowplow.
>
>
> December 25
>
> Merry stinking Christmas! 20 more inches of
> slop tonight - Snowed in
> The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. 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

>
> December 26

> Still snowed in. Why did I ever move here? It

> December 29

> December 30

> Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now
