Don’t mess with the man behind the snow blower!
Well, we got about twenty inches of snow from the storm. I went out side yesterday while it was still snowing to use the snow blower a little bit. Years of life in New England taught me that it is a good idea to get a start on these big storms. If you try to clear a huge amount of snow the snow blower just might not like it very much and break down on you, and then you are in trouble! So you start before it gets too much and you’re good. My sister-in-law decided to come out and play in the snow while I was clearing the walk-way. She borrowed my wife’s boots and snow pants and had herself a grand old time. She’s not used to seeing that much snow and she was having some fun! My wife, on the other hand, well, let’s just say she has had her share of playing in the snow.
My wife cautioned her sister to NOT throw snowballs at me – she said “don’t mess with the guy armed with a snowblower!” Well, as you can imagine, somehow a snowball hit me in the back of the head. I turned around and the only one in sight was laughing her butt off! Laughter turned to shrieks as I turned the chute of the snowblower and showered the assailant with a ton of show! She should have listened to my wife!
