If you've ever spent a winter in northern climes you'll know what I'm sayin'. A fresh fall of snow...8 inches...more than we usually get all at once. It is utterly quiet outside. No wind, no traffic...nothing.
The sun shines brightly and the sky is completely clear of clouds.
I started at 5:30 am Sunday and it takes me almost 5 hours to shovel the walkway to my front door, clear the end of the driveway of the thick crud left by the county snow plow, and then use my snowblower to clear out the drifts.
I see no activity from the neighbors next door. A very nice family (Dad-Mom-two teenagers). That's strange says I to myself as Dad is usually the first one out there on a day like today. Maybe the family isn't home.
At about 11:00 I see Dad arriving in his SUV...he must've been at work. Of course he struggled to get into his own driveway as NOTHING had been done. As it turned out, Mom and the kids were home and Dad was ROYALLY _ _ _ _ _ _ that all were doing something other than tackling the snow. They hadn't even brushed the snow off of their own cars or used their own truck-with-a-plow.
Hey Dad! Ya know...on a day like today your voice carries farther. Normally I would've never been able to hear him as he usually isn't yelling. Maybe he didn't see me standing on my porch. Now he has the kids busy outside and then I hear the following for the very first time:
"WHERE IS YOUR MOTHER? TELL HER TO GET HER _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"
Can't wait to see what happens after the next storm.
