It Is Not Really Winter in Chicago Until...-- Part 3: Dirty Snow Plows

It is Not Really Winter in Chicago Until:

You've cursed at other people for declaring dibs for a parking spot.

You've greedily taken the parking spot of someone else who cleared a space but was too naive to claim t with an ugly chair.  (In other words, DIBS.)

You've planned a winter vacation to somewhere warm or at least checked into it or airfares.

The waves on lake Michigan freeze.

You've heard at least one story about someone who has slipped on the ice and broken a bone.  If you're lucky, that person isn't you.

You've flipped off or said bad things to your friendly neighborhood snow plow operator after they deposit all that super heavy snow on your driveway which you have just cleared.
