They ride along beside a frozen lake

I'd have posted this much earlier in the day if I were the sort of person who has internet on my phone, but I was shoveling out the ice shelf that used to be my mother's car at the time and then I came inside and made grilled cheese and fell over slightly for a couple of hours:

A pair of strangers just skied down my street.

THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

(I hope tomorrow does not involve the same quantity of shoveling as today.)

No, although it is sort of a nice image, in a sense, if there has to be so much snow. Better than them riding snowmobiles, at least, which I've seen occasionally.

I hope your hopes will be fulfilled.

Seriously? I've never seen a snowmobile on a residential street.

Ayup. I don't live in the real country,* but it's near enough that some people will act as if it were. It's a couple of years since I've seen a snowmobile on the road past my house, so maybe they've got sense now.

Well, that's probably wishful thinking. I expect it's the same people as would have an ATV out on the streets. Or at least it's people with the same mentality.

*The neighbourhood is mostly suburban in nature. There is one working dairy farm a couple of miles from us, although I think they're a viable business mostly because they got the idea of starting up a farm-made ice cream stand. They make a good coconut with bits of chocolate in.
