it snows

in winter you complain about the snow

in spring you wonder when the snow will melt

in fall you wonder when the snows will start

in summer you wonder if the temperature is realted to how much snow you will get

the only time you talk to other people is when discussing the above

the only time you talk to neighbors is when helping to shovel out their driveway or push out their car - or when they are doing this for you

your main preoccupation is how long the handle on your snow shovel will last

you chuckle at the idea of global warming - but secretly pray to god it is true

you take particular joy in newcomers whom you can tease and taunt about the coming snow

no matter how bad the snow is you always talk about how its not nearly as bad as the winter of *fill in the blank*

snow boots are referred to as 'upstate guccis'

you get adept at stepping over the 'yellow patches' in the snow

you start winterizing the house in august
-(which reminds me i've got to start putting my weather stripping up)
