The Little Things I hate about Winter

Shouldn’t that be scoop snow?

Depends on if she uses a scoop shovel or a snow shovel

Having to drill a hole through the water in order to make a cast.

And snotsicles.

I'm from the UP of Michigan and let me tell you, stories from there are no joke. I've got pictures of my grandfather using the snow blower on his roof and a really old picture of and his father standing next to the power lines as there was only about 6-8 feet of telephone pole sticking out.

Ok we get it, back in his day he used to walk up house roofs and down house roofs to school in much colder weather. Us millennials wouldn't cope.

I'm sorry you feel insecure about something that happened in the past. I was simply making a comment, that in some cases, snow was a hell of a lot higher than we see now.

Lol, this is when the pirate emoji would really come in handy. No disrespect intended, was meant to be a joke.

Too bad you can't cut-and-paste the pirate emoji from someone else's post.

For those I've loved in KC a few years....no ice storm posters...ask some lifers about ice storms. When I lived there in the 80s and again in early 2000s, ice was frequent. I remember missing school a lot, and one time for weeks because of one real bad storm where people didn't have electricity for up to 2 - 3 weeks.

Having to re-do the sidewalk even if it doesn't snow . . .

We live on a busy-ish street, and I have a fairly long sidewalk frontage I'm responsible for. Cleared the sidewalk, but then overnight the slow plow comes by going at least 40 MPH and blasts the snow & stuff into the air, up and over the piles and onto the sidewalk. And it's not nice snow either, it's previously worked over snow mixed with chunks of ice that looks like it rained on the sidewalk. So I had to re-do the entire thing.

Snowing during a basketball game! Last thing I want to do at half-time or after-the-game is go out and shovel!

Many combinations of winter weather I don't like, but one that's especially annoying: It snows a few inches, then there's a slight warm-up, roads get slushy, then there's a drop to single digits the next day. All that sludge freezes in your wheel wells (unless you plan we'll enough to clean it well before the deep-freeze).
