1. hah! that was some funny shit...

[malaise]

4. There are several versions of this

some complete with the Jamaican bad words. I never fail to crack up with laughter.

[HipChick]

5. I need the one with JA badwords

[malaise]

6. I'll find one tomorrow

I love the part with the snow plow man and how the friendly waving deteriorated to him damaging the plow

2. I'm from Iowa and I feel the same way!

The Con will not be allowed to spoil the holidays

9. Fucking snow plows!

You should have seen the pile they made on the corner of our lot one year. At least eight feet tall! Crushing all the little plants underneath it. And we paid for that shit?! Did I mention my wife left me, too?

[malaise]

10. It's crazy

I hate winter and winter hates me.

[ProudLib72]

12. Here's what I'm talking about

I may have exaggerated slightly. Maybe only seven feet (I'm 6' 2" ).

[malaise]

13. Holy Shit

My upstate NY sis saw the first big snow last week. I'm so glad we're not heading that way.

14. Just a little. It seem to have you by about 18 inches. nt

[ProudLib72]

16. You do not know how badly I wanted to jump into that bank!

Luckily, there was another one in back of the house right below the deck.

[Kaleva]

15. I got a pic of me standing next to a bank where one can stand on and change the street light

It was a huge drift casued by the wind off off Lake Superior. Once when I was a kid, there was a blizzard and my grandfater was trapped in his trailer as it was covered with snow. I had to dig hard to get to his door.

17. Oh perfect!

My Jamaica daughter in law is entering her 3rd Far northern winter. This is just too funny. She enjoyed it😊

[malaise]

22. Ha

Nice

18. Reskin of the very ancient Diary of a Snow Shoveler, floated around internet for 30+ years.

The story was originally written as a white guy from Florida or Southern California moving to New England. Still funny, but I could do without the abrupt and seemingly racist rewrite half way through changing the voice from plain American English to affected Jamaican accent.

[malaise]

21. I've seen so many versions over the years that you are probably right re the origin

Where I disagree is that there is anything racist about the language switch. That suggests you know very little about Jamaican or Caribbean culture. What makes it so funny is that large numbers of Caribbean people speak their native dialect and English and given that the dialect is spoken at home revert to it naturally.

[pangaia]

20. Oh wonderful, malaise...

Made my day,,

[malaise]

23. Ha

[Blue_Tires]

24. Who the hell decides to move to South Dakota? (Aside from folks in the U.S. Air Force)

[dembotoz]

25. my fave

[malaise]

26. Bwaaaaaaah

[MineralMan]

27. Here's a short video of my first Winter in Minnesota.

Not long after this, the snowplow went by, and I got do do it again. I was thrilled!

[malaise]

28. Ha

I pass

[MineralMan]

29. Good decision. I wore out that snowblower after 10 years of use,

and have my second one, now. It's a joy to blow snow, or so I'm told.
