I’m hoping none of the above. Most likely? Slipping on the ice. Never happening? Sledding. I’m not risking my life on hurtling down a hill on a dubious peice of plastic.
@kjady So hurl down the hill on a real wood and metal sled that you can steer. Although the plastic sleds can be steered to some degree by shifting your weight. What is a real crap shoot is using a cafeteria tray. We did that a lot in college down a steep hill on campus (upstate NY and on a great lake so snow belt) where you had to bail before the bottom or you’d hit the building down there.
@IndifferentDude Don’t you just love it when it has been hours since the last flake fell, and the plows are running down the interstate in echelon blocking every lane - at 25mph? BTDT, I-81 in VA most recently.
A paper cut from either wrapping or opening gifts.
Well, I need to be truthful. I will more than likely binge on all the Christmas deserts and other sweets, thereby dooming myself to another year of wanting to go to the gym.
@Salanth we get an ice storm/flurry/sleet that kids will make into snowmen “Blizzard CurrentYear” roughly every two years. We didn’t get one this year, so we’re due. There’s always some slippage.
Taking down the half-dead oak in the side yard without smashing the neighbor’s fence, or my roof, or the electric service drop?
Taking down the small forest of saplings (and bigger-than-saplings) behind the garage, and dragging them to the curb?
Hauling useless crap down from the attic and disposing of it?
Hauling useless crap out of the garage and disposing of it?
Finishing the assembly of the tiller, and prepping the beds in the front lawn for wildflower seeds?
Taking down one of the redbuds in the front yard (there were three trunks, and I have already removed one) without fouling the low-hanging fiber run across the front of the lot?
These are just a few of the projects marked “urgent” for this month and next month.
@famwelch What, no “hit by a falling coconut or palm frond”? Or, on the morning of the cold snap, a falling iguana? (There are many things about living in Florida that I recall as reasons to be glad I escaped.)
@sicc574 Cripes you get that in MS year round. These people do not know how to drive, use turn signals, do anything other than go way under or way over the speed limit, cut people off, road race down a newly paved 5 lane road (counting the turning lane) around here and then so wheelies (if on a motorcycle - although I was once behind 3 motorcycles directly in front of me doing that on the interstate in town here) or jamming on the breaks and leaving tire marks in a circle on the road. Traffic rules are optional and they always have the right of way. In snow (or rain) they go faster and tailgate more.
Slip trying to avoid a water puddle. There’s no such thing as snow. I believe it’s a figment of my imagination painted on the mountain tops

@Kidsandliz @kjady Rosebud.
Mentally replay dumb mistakes I made years ago, over and over. A holiday classic!
@awk
Rear-end the snowplow that’s going WAY TOO SLOW ahead of me!! “Move outta the way jerk!!
I’ve got 4-wheel drive!!”

Same way I get all my injuries, pull a muscle during a run.
@kittykat9180 Same here.
@cbatte @kittykat9180 What keeps chasing you guys?? You might want to call animal control.
@ircon96 @kittykat9180 My cellulite. Apparently I need to run faster to get away from it.
I don’t get snow, so…falling off Fenris somehow??
I’m in Phoenix, so…Sunburn???
@smkarizona But you have Matt’s Big Breakfast so that makes it worth it.
@yakkoTDI so true.

@hchavers Wanting to?
Or needing to but NOT wanting to?
@Kyeh the spirit is willing, but the body is weak
@hchavers Same here, I can relate all too well.
Slipped on ice last year, I can see it happening again.

26 car pile up. Wasn’t me.
sunburn in Florida

Tweaking my back on the golf course.
Vehicular accident at the fault of someone whom is underprepared to drive in the ice and/or snow.

Being shot by the cops.
… this is a follow up answer to the “Knife” question btw.
@OnionSoup
Reflecting on how I’ve managed to fritter away yet another year of the dwindling supply I have left.
I’m going skiing for the second time ever… in the Alps. So probably from that.
