Dear Snowbirds,

Please get on the phone and tell whoever you hired to shovel your walkways to HURRY UP. The snow has gotten knee deep with more coming, and it's difficult going for us and our dog, and for postal workers (not that you care because you're forwarding your mail all winter).

I know it doesn't affect you and that technically you have until 48 hours after it stops snowing, but some of us have to live in your city all winter long.

Getting your walks shoveled would be a nice gesture to show that you have an ounce of regard for your neighbors. Or please move into a condo where it would be taken care of, and you would still be able to retain your Canadian residency and all the lovely benefits that come with it. Is it REALLY worth it to you to leave your house empty for 6 months?!!

Sincerely,
Your pushy American neighbor
