TO ENTER:
tell me your worst winter experience thus far. there are so many things that we don't think of when we are calling snow bad things like "fun, pretty, great...ect."
ok fine, it's pretty. on the trees. give me your best/worst story you have encountered. even the every day small stuff that we tend to forget about. it can be short, just a few sentences, or even just a good "i hate winter."

like the time when we woke up and had to spend 2.5 hours shoveling ourselves out of the driveway, only to find out...the road still has 2 feet of snow, and no snow plow has come by yet. you cant really pull out onto a road that is up to your shins. not cool.

or, when you have been out of groceries for a week (and contemplating eating cat food) and you finally decide you can't take it anymore and travel to the store. you get stuck at every stop you make and strangers have to push you out. ONLY to discover when you finally make it out of the store with your basket CRAMMED ASS FULL of everything in the store...how the hell are you going to push a cart across the parking lot with a foot of snow? let me tell you. you aren't. you will attempt do do it, spilling groceries at every massive shove that you give the cart. you will fall down and practically break your butt, say a bad word then apologize to the baby for using mild profanity such as 'stupid'. you will hold up very angry drivers who want to turn- but you are 'too busy falling down'. you will somehow make it to the car, while yet another stranger helps you with the cart, 400lbs of groceries and a 4 year old old in the front and all. you will want to put the groceries away but OOooooh...look at this, the trunk is frozen shut. you will smile, thank the man, tell him that you have everything under control and pray to the sweet sweet block of cheese that you have- and hope by kicking the trunk 'it will somehow pop it open'. by golly it works and you throw them in there as fast as you can and get the H E double hockey sticks out of that nasty parking lot. you know, things like this that suck.

and GO!
