Do guys do this because they're really hot or is it because they want to prove how tough they are? I'm leaning toward the latter until proven otherwise.

Anyone I know who does this tend to be on the "husky" side.

I've been noticing a lot more lately where I'm at and you're right. They tend to be beefy bois. (for the record, I don't mean overweight, more like muscle-bound.)

I meant Bobby Hill husky.

I always assumed it was laziness. You don’t lose that much heat through your legs and they probably wear shorts all the time so easier to just throw on a jacket before going outside.

Hello,

I believe it's laziness as well but for another reason. Have you ever seen a pair of cargo shorts look un-wrinkled? You can always throw on a pair of caro shorts and they like like cargo shorts are supposed to look like regardless of their condition. In my experiences, cargo shorts guys are not really concerned with fashion or how they look.

As someone who owns cargo shorts and is fundamentally unconcerned about wrinkles or looking slovenly, I can attest to the gospel truth of the above. Slob’s choice guarantee.

I've done one round of shoveling already despite it still coming down like a bastard. It's not expected to end until late afternoon/early evening, so it's still gonna be evil to clean up.

I expected up to 8 inches overnight, and had planned on spending a couple hours snowblowing/shoveling this morning. Only got a light dusting, maybe an inch if that. Very pleased.

But what are you going to do with all your spare time now?

Thanks buddy. My thoughts exactly. Now I can just lay around this morning and wait for the 12:30pm Sabres game.

We had a weird winter weather event last week of a kind I hadn't really seen before. Got 2 inches of snow, immediately followed by several hours of freezing rain. The result was that my driveway had an inch of solid white ice that I could have skated on. There was no way to shovel it, so I just spread some rock salt on the walks and up to the mailbox so the mailman wouldn't slip. It only melted a day or so ago.

Curious given that I think Toronto got hit pretty hard.

Oh, I’ll strut around the house like a king in his castle.

Only 8 days until we set the clocks ahead, and 16 days until spring. I’ll be happy when this winter is over.

The lake effect thing is so unpredictable. Just a few degrees change in wind direction means the difference between a dusting and a dumping. I'm midway between Lakes Erie and Ontario. If the wind is directly out of the west, it comes across southern Ontario and the snow can be depleted before it reaches me, but a slight swing to the south west, and the wind picks up moisture across 200 miles of Lake Erie and I get slammed. Toronto is like 50 miles away from me, as the loon flies, so it is curious. I lucked out this time I guess. Haven't checked the news, but I wouldn't be surprised if parts of Buffalo just south of me got 3 feet.
