You Know You're a Northerner When...

When you don't put the snow shovel away till June 1st .

When snow hits you watch the news, not to see when it will be warmer but to see if you got the MOST snow and cheer about it (then bitch about it the next day LOL)


BTW, here in MA we had 5-6 blizzards in 5-6 weeks, ALL on MONDAYS (if I remember correctly)! more or less. It was in 2015 from end of Jan to March. Great for me because I had stopped working the ER (12 hr rotating shifts) to a desk job with one of the Surgeons M-F and I got E-V-E-R-Y monday off as a snow day !


But I think NY takes the cake when south of Buffalo got like 9 feet in 2 days .. Is that right? Maybe it was 10 but it was like non-stop snow ! F that !

That's where I'm at. It's truly ridiculous sometimes. Snowboarding off the roof is a common activity here. Also having a full winter survival kit in the car, that you always keep full of gas in case of 12 hour strandings. It happens. People die.

that some animals turn white in the winter and stay that way for 8 months of the year lol. (looking at rabbits and weasels, just caught a nice white short tail weasel yesterday)

...you have a cookout even though it's snowing, because if you waited for summer cookouts would be rare.

In March/April you don't put the Snowblower away till the end of MAY.
But then again, if it snows you still just shovel enough to get you out and figure the rest will just melt

Nothin wrong with that. No skeeters to eat you alive when it's snowing

but I don't like having to bend down that far to BBQ.

It is even worse when you have to use a pole to figure out where to start digging out the BBQ.

That is why you put a pole by the BBQ in fall. Easy peasy
