    About this ebook

    “Snow Stories” is a book about snow shoveling talk. The type of conversation one might have with the neighbor after last night’s snowstorm. It takes place in a region that is bitter, bitter cold with tons of snow; Minnesota.
    Now, meet Joe and Mike, and listen in on these two regular guys as they talk to one another while doing what needs to be done, in their case, shoveling snow.
    They are down to earth, educated and easy-going family men. They live in a hostile environment but make the most of it by remaining engaged and in tune with each other. The stories are silly and pointless on one hand but contain a bit of wisdom on the other.
    Joe and Mike consistently remind one another, in a very round about manner, how tolerance, acceptance and focusing on the positive rather than the negative can help them survive. Both men are keenly aware that there are funny things in every day life.
    So grab your snow shovel and put yourself in their snowshoes. It may give you a different perspective, “ya know”.
