I understand that Wisconsin has been hit by the second large snowstorm in less than a week! Take consolation, fellow PackerRats, in the invaluable Snow-Shoveling skills you have developed.
A couple of years ago, the Portland Metro area received a rare "Heavy" snowfall of about 6 inches.
I went out to shovel my driveway and sidewalk and saw my neighbor across the street shoveling his driveway. He had completed clearing about 1/3 of his pavement area.
I walked over and chatted briefly with him. After the discussion, I went back and began shoveling my own driveway and sidewalk.
Despite the fact that my driveway was larger than my neighbor's, I was finished clearing my area while he was still shoveling. He marveled, "Man, you are one Snow-Shoveling Machine!"
I shot back, "I wasn't born and raised in northern Wisconsin for nothin'!"
So, fellow Wisconsin PackerRats, when you tire of shoveling of the white stuff, just remember that you have a special talent people in other parts of the country don't have!
