Top 10 Reasons Citizens of the Tri-Cities Don't Shovel Snow:

10 -- No time, I had to work out at health club.

9 -- Our dog Muffy doesnot have a snowsuit.

8 -- It's too hard to text and shovel at the same time.

7 -- It'll melt ... sometime.

6 -- We're too busy administering to patients who fell on the snowy sidewalk outside our clinic.

5 -- I had an appointment with my insurance agent after an uninsured motorist slid into my car this morning.

4 -- All the recreation vehicles and cars on my property don't leave room to put snow.

3 -- I'm waiting until dark so my neighbors won't see me throw the snow in the street.

2 -- That city ordinance requiring me to clear snow and ice from my sidewalk doesn't apply to me, 'cause I'm special.

1 -- Snow? What snow? It doesn't snow in the Tri-Cities!
