  • If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May
  • If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there
  • If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time

  • If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Charleston for the Weekend
  • If you measure distance in hours
  • If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once
  • If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and backagain
  • If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching
  • If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked
  • If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them
  • If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit
  • If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you

  • If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction
  • If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car
