I'll take Florida anytime!

You forgot to add the snow plow coming by and leaving a humungus pile of snow at the front of your driveway... just after you cleaned the pile left the last time they went by!

I can't tell you the times I've been fustrated by that. I lived on a corner and the plow would pick up a ton of snow on the curve and left it in my driveway. At the same time the neighbor on the other side of the street's driveway was positioned before the plow hit the corner, and he usually had one fifth of what I had dumped on him... and he enjoyed clearing snow! Go figure!

A friend used to work for the town that did the plowing, and when I good naturedly complained to him about it he would tell me that he and the others made a habit of waiting until they saw that I just cleared my driveway - then make their pass!
