    Shoveling snow in a kilt

    This morning I was out shoveling last nights snow. Just as I was finishing up out near the street a nice looking blonde on a minivan drove by. She looked, then looked again with a puzzled expression, and kept looking back as she drove down the street. I was starting to wonder if she was going to drive up the curb. Amazing the attention a kilt gets in the winter.

    Been there and done that Bubba, it sure doesn't take much to work up a sweat. Not to mention the are you cold comments. Have some snow flurries in the air at the moment, might have to do more shoveling tomarrow

    One more advantage to wearing kilts.

    When a pretty woman stares, you don't have to wonder if your fly is open and check.

    True, you just have to check to see if your pleats are flying up in the wind

    Woke up to over six inches of new snow on the ground. I can't wait to hear the tourists to start complaining about how they can't get anywhere because they don't have chains or four wheel drive

    Snow? What's that? Oh to have a decent snowfall in the England UK this winter. We're lucky these days if we get a couple of inches, and even that turns to ice and then slush so it's not very pleasant.

    Really MUST try and move to Scotland!!

    6 inches ain't that bad, but then, especially early in the winter, people try to drive in snow like they do on clear dry roads. This snowfall Green Bay had over 50 fenderbenders before the evening rush hour.

    I don't I'm use to driving in the snow but the tourists start freaking out as soon as they see flakes in the air. This snowfall brings the on ground total to 18 inches. Some places have over 2.5 feet. Plus it was warm before it started to snow so there was a nice slick sheet of ice underneath the snow I had people trying to ride my bumper because they thought I wasn't driving fast enough only to start sliding when they tried to pass me.
