Ugh. Okay, prepare for Whaaaaaaa.
Stupid snow. I dont like you, not when I have to work, not when I have to shovel my driveway and clear off my car just to TEST and see if the roads are in decent condition. So I shovel it all, get out there, driving at 20km/hr or so, and make it to the main street... AND ITS NOT PLOWED OR SALTED!
Stupid municipality. 3:30 in the afternoon, nothing is cleared, and then I saw ONE plow go by, no solt, nothing. Just moving the crap from the center lane to the outer lane. thats it.
I got to Tim Hortons, grabbed some potato bacon soup and some hot chocolate and returned home to tell my boss I couldnt work tonight.
When was the last time I had a snow day off?

Though it's good to know I'm not in the only family that seems to be left in the world that still shovels. Good thing I'm living in an apartment provided by the university I go to so I don't freeze my fins off any more. x.=.x
Also, despite on how it "builds character", I've pretty much abandoned shoveling snow apart from the most cramped quarters in favour of a snow blower and taking care of worst bits with a tractor, including how my driveway can become rather uneven during wintertime.
