I don’t need it, I don’t need it, I don’t need it, I don’t need it

A power shovel. We have the E-Go version and it works but it throws the snow at about a 45° angle, so if it’s windy like it was this morning there’s no way to really keep it from blowing back over what you already cleared.

The leaf blower is such a good tool for when its really cold and you get that light snow. Makes such quick work of it.

We have a big clunky snowblower that I can’t stand, so I’m hoping this is a suitable enough replacement I don’t have to get that thing out for a while.

Ts and Ps for all you northerners. I have to connect through MSP at the end of the month though so I may get a brief taste of true winter.

Well, unless something catastrophic happens you won’t have to go outside. But you’ll be able to see Real Winter through a window!

Hoping for mildly real winter so there are no delays. I may go outside and touch snow though during my layover just to do it.

Yeah, but that 15 seconds on the jetway will be really nippy

If were ranking cold moments. 15 seconds on jetway has to be top 5. Always hated that feeling stepping off plane from a warm vaca in a tshirt. Felt way colder than it ever was.

December golf on a Monday and no collar… you just gave a random boomer heartburn

You just wait until I see you in Wisconsin again and I’ll make you pay for this. Probably in hugs and laughter, but that’s not the damned point!

Open is a generous term right now. The club is essentially closed at this point for the winter. The pro is out here walking a quick 9 as well. Otherwise not another soul out here.

During the season it opens at noon on Mondays.

Also it’s winter so jeans are allowed. I don’t think they’re worried about my lack of collar.
