Things About A New York Winter
There are no mosquitoes.
You're so busy worrying about your car not starting, you don't have time to
worry about anything else.
All the sissies leave for Florida.
If you carelessly leave meat in your car, it will freeze and stay fresh.
It's not as bad as a Manitoba winter.
There's the thrill of skiing downhill or unexpectedly being totally out of
control as your car slides down an icy road.
Bundled up as they are, kids can fall down 3 flights of stairs and not get
hurt.
There's ice fishing in a -50 degree wind chill, knowing that someone,
somewhere is flabbergasted at how hearty we are.
Anything is better than a humid New York summer.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You design your halloween costumes to fit over snowmobile suits
You know what leaves make good toilet paper, (hunters!)
You know the 4 seasons... winter, still winter, not winter, and almost winter
You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car
You think everyone from a different state has an accent
Your husband thinks sexy lingerie is a flannel nightgown with only 8 buttons.
You have 10 favorite recipes for venison
You think white rice is exotic and wild rice is a hotdish
Somewhere in the state is a piece of frozen metal with bits of your tongue
stuck to it. (kids....hehehe)
#1 Knowing that the rest of the country is looking at us in total amazement,
saying, "Why in the world do they stay there?"
