Awww…. c’mon… cheer up. It’s the new year. You need a good laugh.
A brand, spanking new episode of Snowy Sunday should do the trick.

I’m so glad you posted this because I was unaware of the perils of snow, especially the kind that’s got some yellow in it.
Nice. I don’t get the snow plow tip, though… no short strokes? only plow cross-plank? get/pay someone else to do it? Ah, that must be it!
geeky tai-tai – Just trying to advise people on snow safety… especially the yellow snow
ren – You got it… I wasn’t doing the best removal jobs, so I got my wife to do it.
That was really informative for those of us who have never really been around snow, save the occasional vacation to a wintry place. But… what was the deal with the tire tracks and walking?!
faiqa – The tire tracks were ice, as in be careful and walk slow on ice, otherwise you will slip and fall.
That was the BEST Snowy Sunday so far!
I actually snorted tea when the yellow snow shot appeared!
I like how you got someone else to shovel the snow for you. “Hey, would you like to be in my video and become famous on the internets? All you gotta do is…”
penelope – Why thank you. And I loved that you snorted a liquid when viewing yellow snow. 😉
kevin – Yeah, I wasn’t doing the best job and needed some help clearing the deck. Of course, since it was my wife, I had to do more than offer her fame on the internets… 😉
Hi Marty
I don’t know how I got there but I just found your Sunday Scooter videos on vimeo.
I think they’re great.
Thanks for sharing.
john – Thanks for the find, John and for the props. Much appreciated.
Thnaks for your comment on my blog. You’re included in the latest post.
To paraphrase Frank Zappa: Watch out where the huskies go … and get someone else to do the heavy shoveling.
Frank was very wise.
Did you spill some lemonade or something?
delmer – Nice… I’m so glad someone remembered Frank Zappa “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow” Good thing that batch I put up to my mouth was a clean batch.
whall – Yep.. it’s just “dribbled out” of the “cup” 😉
Great video. But if there is ice and then no ice next to it, wouldn’t you just walk there instead? I am just being a pain in the ass…I know you were just illustrating to be careful on the ice.
tori – He he, good catch, Tori… that does look a bit obvious, doesn’t it. We are running out of ice here and that was the biggest patch in one spot I could find. 😉
omg that totally fucking ruled!!! Hooray. Since I am ridiculously late, this was Snowy Wednesday in my case. I will do my level best to follow all of that great advice to the letter… 😉
catherine – Thank you much. Although my advice may not apply as well in Los Angeles. Now, next year in NYC… all rules apply.
