Friday Joke - the snow plough

Damn its cold here! Got back from Canada to find my car buried under 50 cm of hard icy snow and the temperature was -9c. Now it's set to get colder! It's not supposed to do this in Bergen, what has happened to the Gulf Stream? Meanwhile the UK is entering an ice age, at least if you believe the BBC. If this is climate change then bring it on - Ice climbing this weekend I think....

Anyway a topical tale about Bergen folk who aren't used to such harsh weather...

Lars and his lovely blonde wife Ingrid live in Bergen.
One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 10 to 15 cm of snow today. You must park your car on the left side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."
Ingrid goes out and moves her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 cm of snow today. You must park your car on the right side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."
Ingrid goes out and moves her car again.
The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says "We are expecting 20 to 25 cm of snow today.
Ingrid says, "Honey, he didn’t say where to put the car, what should I do?"
Lars says, "Why don't you just leave the car in the garage this time?"
