We all loathe this moment.
It normally takes you 15 minutes to get home from work, but today it took you almost an hour.
The weather forecast warned you there would be a lot of snow on the ground by the end of the day, but you didn’t believe it.
The roads were an absolute disaster on the way home and now you have to shovel out the driveway just to park your car.
It’s dark. The snow has turned to pelting freezing rain and your back is starting to ache. But, mission accomplished.
Just as you’re about to walk in the door you hear a distant rumble – the snow plow is coming.
Within moments a white barrier blocks the end of the driveway, even more dubious a task to get rid of and you just put the shovel in the shed.

Maybe you should have bought that snow blower after all.
A Moncton, N.B. man has one for sale and it’s this sentiment he hopes will convince you to buy it.
Weh-Ming Cho posted a rather humorous ad for his 29-inch snowblower on Kijiji Wednesday, as an early winter storm battered the Maritimes.
“Do you like shoveling snow? Then stop reading this and go back to your pushups and granola because you are not someone that I want to talk to,” Cho writes.
“I want you to experience the rush that comes with smashing through a snowdrift and blowing that mother trucker out of the way. The elation of seeing the snow plow come back down your street and watching the look of despair as your OTHER neighbour gets his shovel out once more while you kick back with a hot cup of joe (you don’t have a drinking problem like that other guy).”
He assures the post is very much real and acknowledges he’s made such a great sales pitch one may wonder why he’s selling it in the first place.
“By this point, you’re probably wondering why I would sell my snowblower since the first snowpocalypse is upon us today. I’ll tell you why: because I heard it was time for you to man up and harness some mighty teeth and claws and chew your way to freedom, that’s why.”
Cho says he has taken good care of the11 HP Briggs and Stratton machine and its only four years old.
“I dare you to find a harder working 4 year old,” he jibes.
Whether Cho sells the snowblower or not, the ad is a success.
His opus to care-free snow removal has racked up more than 190,000 views in less than 48 hours and has gone viral on Facebook and Twitter. It’s blowing across the Internet like… a blizzard.
