A texan moves north
-
After the talk of snow in the lounge reminded me of when I first moved from Dallas up to the frozen north, I was given this joke... I was going to post it there but even with editing it is perhaps not KSS. I think I got all the profanity masked. January 10 It's 5:00PM. It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the first one we've seen in years. The wife and I took our hot buttered rum and sat by the picture window watching the soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was so beautiful. January 11 We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight. Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time in my life and loved it. I did both the driveway and the sidewalk. later a snow plow came along and accidentally covered up the driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver waved and smiled. I waved back and shoveled again. January 12 It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temp has dropped to 11 degrees. Several tree limbs have snapped in the snow. I shoeveled the drive again. Shortly afterwards the snowplow came again. Now the snow is a brownish-grey. January 13 It warmed enought today to cause slush which froze again when the temp dropped. Bought snow tired for both cars. Fell on my a** in the driveway. $145.00 to a chiropractor. Nothing broken. More snow. January 14 Still cold as h***. Sold the wife's car. Bought a 4x4 to get her to work. Slid into a guardrail anyways, considerable damage. Another 8 inches of snow last night. Both vehicles covered with salt and crud. More shoveling for me. The d*** snowplow came twice today. January 15 It's 2 f*****g degrees outside. More f*****g snow. Not a tree on our property hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and a kerosene heater, which tipped over and nearly burned the f*****g house down. Managed to put out the flames but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands plus lost all my eyelashes and eyebrows. car slid off the road on the way to the emergency room and totalled it. January 16 More motherf*****g goddam white s*** keeps coming down. Have to put on all the clothes we own just to get to the f*****g mailbox. If I ever catch the son-of-a-b***h who drives that f*****g snowplow, I'll chew open his chest and rip out his heart. I think he hides around the corner till I shovel. Power still off.

I've lived in Florida for 26 years now and the only time I see snow is when I intentionally drive out of state to see it which don't happen very often at all.

I used to live in El Paso and in those years it snowed only once. It did not even last for a day, but the chaos was ... amusing :) Cowboys and snow don't get along very well.
And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
"Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"And I smiled and was happy
And it came worse.
