Bad weather brings out the good in many, as neighbors band together like an army of shovelers to clear each others' driveways and sidewalks.

It also brings out the unbelievably stupid in people. Here's a few tips for those who either came to Boston (or another city that gets more than a dusting [dusting = 6"] per storm) recently or who need others to do the thinking for them.

1. Do not shovel snow into the street. Not only is this against the law, but it's just gonna get plowed right back where you moved it from.

2. Do not drive as though there is no snow on the ground. Yes, we all use radials year round, but those aren't going to help you much when your two-wheel drive Fiero is spinning on on 3" of compacted ice.

3. Stop Frost-ing honking, Frostface. The only thing that makes a prolonged commute (a normally one hour commute took most people 5-8 hours yesterday) more miserable is the noise of some douche who thinks that his protests will influence mother nature (impeach Bush).

4. Don't be such a Poe.
It's just a foot of snow. You can drive faster than 2.5MPH. You can drive through that mound of slush. Your pants will dry. Stores will still be open.

5. Don't eat it. It may look white, but that's only because you're so used to everything being so gray. It's more toxic than BIG's liver.

And don't forget, shoveling snow is a great way to burn calories. Just ask my wife.

"Get that fatbody out there and shovel our driveway, post haste!!".

6. Just because you hear a storm is coming, do NOT rush to the grocery store and stock up on bottled water and bread. You are not going to be stranded in your house for months on end. You're making the wait too long for those of us who need our beer and frozen pizza.

Who the hell needs bread in an ice storm anyway?

Chi Chi's guide to country snow:

1. Drive like there is no snow on the ground. This will get you accustomed to the long winter and lack-luster snow removal services.

2. If you have a plow on your truck, use it. Wake up really early and just start plowing people out because you're up early, there's snow on the ground and a plow on your truck. Then mention how you started plowing at 4 am to as many people as you can.

3. Ditches will stop your car a lot better than your brakes will. If there's 6 inches of snow on top of 3 inches of ice and your vehicle seems to not want to stop, don't panic. A ditch will stop you, or failing that, a tree.

4. On a bag of rock salt, it recommends a quarter pound per square yard. That's just silly. Blanketing the intended area with at least as much salt as there is snow ensures quick and efficient snow and ice removal along with a guarantee of attractive brown streaks of withered vegetation come spring.

Finally... Winter may be bad, but it isn't as bad as the winter of 19XX. Make sure to talk about that winter a lot.

G: When putting out cat litter before a storm to ensure concrete steps and patios do not accumulate ice, make absolutely sure you do not use the type that clumps.

1. It is usually sold as a flaky white powder, and is snorted in lines through your nose.

2. Many users will dab it on their teeth and gums. These people are whack, yo.

3. If you heat it and mix it with baking powder & ammonia, it becomes "crack", and then you can smoke it. It's called 'crack' after the sound it makes when you light it.

4. Wanna try some - the first time is free man. Just remember who gave it to you when you want some more, okay? Don't be going to see Carlos - that Froster will rip you off, seriously.

Do not call the cops on your neighbor for shoveling/blowing their snow into your yard. It's just frozen water, you douchebag.

XII. If, while driving in a mild snowstorm such as yesterday's, you brake for no good reason while climbing a hill like a tutu-sporting whining Poe, thereby stranding your car in the middle of the street, you deserve to be anally violated with the nearest available snow shovel.

And if I'm driving behind you, you will be.

I had to do community service once and as it turned out it was during a snowstorm. I had to work for the village of LeRoy, NY. I had to shovel snow and stuff on village property. The guys that worked for the town told me to shovel around the fire hydrants, from the sidewalk to the street. I shovelled all around them on the main street, and then like two minutes after I was done the guys drove by with a plow and plowed snow all over the hydrants I just shovelled and laughed at me.

This actually happened to me last year. My bitchy, old, dried up prune of a neighbor had the police out twice when I tossed a shovelful of snow into her front yard.

I can't wait until she dies. I'm gonna shovel snow onto her grave every winter.

Frost you. In the city, if you have a yard, it's the size of an onion sliver. If someone dumps snow in your yard, that's a challenge to a shiv fight.

I bitch a lot about living in Boston, but any city where a foot of snow comes down in a half a day and people are still speeding on the highways, riding their bikes, and going to work even though all they do is sell T-shirts (and believe me--they will get business)--

That is a bunch of people you don't Frost with. They'll come to your faggotty rodeo, beat up the riders, Frost the bulls, and force the clowns to get married.

XXVIIII Dear Weatherman,
It's WINTER see. Most of America gets snow at this time. Standing in front of your map and saying "It's gonna snow" tells us nothing. We know that! Even a broke clock is right twice a day!!!

Thanks and back to you, Cletus.
