Snow and cold is not that bad.
Everything turn white and it be kind of silent. You have to put on so much clothing that you can barely move. And you have to change to snow wheels on the van. Check anti-freeze fluid. Pour alcohol in the gasoline so it does not get ice in the pipes. The locks on the van freezes.
After 20 minutes heating with a lighter, the ice in the lock finally melt, then you discover that the door seal has frozen to the door. You try to warm the door with your hands, and frenetic pull the door. When you finally get it open all the snow from the roof fall into the seat. You brush it out but now the seat is cold and wet.
Now your hands are so cold because none of this you can do with gloves on, it results in turning the key to start is hard with your fingers stiff. After a lot of bad language you turn the key and it starts. You feel relieved that soon it will be warm, at the same time you hear the wipers starts and tear off the rubber that frozen solid to the windscreen. With more bad language, you take the ice scraper to clean the windows. The scraper is so bad that you might as well scrape with a rubber boot.
But you do your best, now your a*s turn to ice because of the wet seat, and you can´t feel your toes anymore. But anyway, you have to shovel away snow behind the wheels so you can back out from the parking lot. At that point you discover that you are almost one hour late for work.
You can see on the window it become a little warm inside, but now you have to hurry up. You lift one foot to step into the van and the other slipping on the snow and you go in under the rockerpanel. Now you are half in and half out, and you feel that your wet a*s starts to freeze to the ground. So with a bad language you don´t even hear yourself before, and a piece of you pants left on the ground, you climb into the van and put it in reverse.
You look out the window, but can´t see anything, your glasses are all foggy. You wipe the glasses and look in the rear view mirror, your nose is blue with ice in it. You looks like you just finish a 20 mile cross-country skiing race. Finally on the way, but you have to steer with your elbows because your fingers are so stiff that you can´t hold the steering wheel.......
Snow and cold isn´t that bad........ if you are a polar bear.
