I think right about now some of us are feeling a bit tired of the snow. Below is a Cute story that has been going around the internet for a couple of years now about the weather in Good Ole New York State and is one of my favorites. It makes me wonder if someone from the south of Buffalo or the north of Syracuse isn’t thinking this right now. Author unknown!
Dear Diary
August 12th – Moved to our new home in New York. It is so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic, can hardly wait to see snow covering them.
October 14th – New York is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are all turned colors with shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful mountains and saw some deer. They were so graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animal on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.
November 11th – Deer season will start soon. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon.
December 2nd – It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white snow. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won) and when the snowplow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place, I love New York.
December 12th – More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here in New York.
December 19th – More snow last night. I couldn’t get out of the driveway to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling. Dumb snowplow.
December 22nd – More STUPID snow last night. I’ve got blisters on my hands from shoveling and I think the snowplow hides around the curve and waits until I’m done shoveling the driveway. The JERK!
December 25th – Merry Christmas. More STUPID snow! If I ever get my hands on that STUPID JERK who drives the snowplow, I swear I’ll kill the driver. Don’t know why they don’t use more salt on the roads to melt the darn ice.
December 27th – More snow fell last night. I’ve been inside for three days except for shoveling out the driveway after that snowplow goes through. Can’t go anywhere; car’s stuck in a mountain of snow. The weatherman says to expect another 10″ of snow again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10″ is?
December 28th – The darned weatherman was wrong again! We got 34″ of snow this time. At this rate it won’t melt before the summer. The snowplow got stuck in the road and that STUPID JERK had the nerve to come to the door and ask to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken six shovels already shoveling all the snow he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one over his STUPID head!
January 4th – Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get some food and on the way back a darned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. It did about $3000.00 dollars worth of damage to the car. Those beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters would have gotten them all last November.
May 3rd – Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusting out from the STUPID salt they put all over the roads.
May 10th – Moved to Florida. I can’t imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that god forsaken state of New York.
Gotta Love New York!!!
Stephen, I agree 🙂
Syracuse to the bone Pam and Mike. I hate the heat ;))
Andrea, Like you I saw a bunch of different cities in this story too. It does sum up IMO how long winter can be sometimes.
Cheryl, I think most of us come the end of January are saying or at least thinking the stuff in that story.
WARNING, if you have no food in your house like me or are hungry, stay away from Cheryl's blog 🙂 Nice site Cheryl!!!
They use the exact same story for Michigan – just replace the name of the state.
I moved to Syracuse two years ago, my first venture into the northeast. I swear that, with the exception of killing a deer and assaulting the snowplow guy, I have said every single one of those things, almost verbatim. Haha! Someone get me out of here!
Oh those memories of living in Central New York Cousin Patrick. So here in North Kakilacki, we have a few snow flakes and 1 or 2 more cold snaps this month and then the treebuds and tulips will begin to emerge and by mid-March the lawn will be in full bloom. A real Spring and an extended Fall helps get us thru those hot summer months. Still just dreams for you New Yorkers. Say hey to the family for us Patrick.
Cousins Pam and Mike
Heh, that post never gets old!
