Winter Weather Advice (I love my coworkers)

When I explained to my new coworkers how excited I was about the novelty of snow on the ground they had a few ideas for me.  Collectively they told me how to drive in the snow, what kind of socks to wear, and how to make good snow balls.  In two unrelated instances I was told that lemon grass is very common in Connecticut and when snow sits on it the snow picks up flavor, turning it into a natural unsweetened snow cone.  One mentioned that I would find more of this near trees, because the grass grows better in the shade.

Hot damn I thought, free snow cone.  When I saw the first patch, I was excited to give it a try, but I couldn't really get to it through the brush.  It was the first find on my short hunt, but it wasn't worth pushing through the brush.

More after the jump



It didn't take long to find some 'lemon snow' that I could get my hands in.  This little patch was really small, but I was excited no less.  I figured I would get a little taste here and it would encourage me to continue searching for more. 



And let me tell you...
I've been had.
Retaliation will be swift and firm.  Any ideas welcomed in the comments.

  1. I can't believe you fell for it! I've only been to the snow once, but even I know that you NEVER, EVER eat the yellow snow! You could always just leave a big, smelly turd in the bathroom at work and not flush :) OR, you could bring in snow cones to work one day as a treat for your co-workers. Bring an actual lemon snow cone for yourself, so that you can eat it in front of them and gain their trust. Then hand them each a snow cone and they can enjoy a big bite of piss-flavored snow! And if you really want to get them, it can be your piss that they munch on!
