Winter tip # 89430485

After all that hard work shoveling, I went from this…
…to this.
I know I said I wouldn’t get to this until tomorrow, but whatever. Halfway through sweeping off the hood of my car, I said to myself, “Screw this. Why bother?” Look at all the other cars except the middle one in the back. Everyone’s car has like 15 inches piled up. No one is outside shoveling. It sure looks pretty out there, though – all is calm.
TIP – don’t even bother shoveling your parking spot or sweeping your car off until the snow is DONE coming down. Unless you want ripped biceps and 138745 calories burned.

Actually, I disagree. You know what? My car is the ONLY one outside right now that is actually cleared off and I could easily drive out of my parking spot and go whereever I want, while everyone else has 20+ inches of snow to clear off and shovel away. I burned calories and my back is tight, but I have peace of mind tomorrow!

Ripped biceps are awesome! And it IS easier to clean a car while the snow is still powdery than it is after it’s been frozen by the overnight chill…
