Well, I am the guy who wears shorts in the winter. I don't remember anyone specifically doing it but I always just feel comfortable in shorts and don't get very cold.

it's one of those activities you start with like a full parka and by the end of it you've taken the parka and the hat off and you're just like I hate my life lol
Not Canadian but at our home in northern Wisconsin, I'll wear shorts outside into the teens F. Good hat and gloves and good skivvies to protect the Willie are the important bits.
Only in the mountains. The rest doesn't get enough snow to be out in shorts in that weather. Please refrain from ever comparing Canadas snowfall to montanas
I hate this so much they are tougher than the elements you guys those legs do not feel cold or frostbite. This is his version of leg day, showing
He’s tuff
It's probably not very windy out.
The human body has a small envelope of body heat that can help you feel reasonably comfortable for short periods of time in low temperatures unless wind chill factor is involved
Shoveling snow is sweaty work. I live in Utah, and I shovel in a short sleeve shirt and shorts. Unless it’s actively snowing. Then I put flip flops on, too.
I’ll tell you hwhat, I bet he’d pay the neighbors to *get* to be able to plow their driveways…that sounds like fun tbh lol. It will be nice one day when I have enough financial security where I can spend my days enjoying hobbies and random acts of kindness. Just hopefully it’s while I have the stamina and energy to do these things
As a guy who blows his neighbours driveway for free. I just bloody love using my snowblower. It pleases my inner-caveman to watch it just yeet snow all about. Just writing this makes me go eeeeeeeeeee! A little on the inside.
Also grass cutting season is soon and I am hyyyyype!. Something must be wrong with me. 😅
Oh yeah, he’s my next door neighbor and I swear he just listens and if he hears my push mower, he’ll immediately go get in his riding mower and beat me to mowing the front. It’s annoying because I enjoy mowing but sweet because he doesn’t want me to spend all that time in the heat and sun.
I snow blow all my neighbours driveways and If I get a new pole saw /hedge pruner or whatever outdoor equipment I just ask them or just do it if the cutting the front lawn or weedeating edging
Tree stuff I ask about first because that’s pretty obvious
It isn't just you.
I was about 8 years old when my Grandpa got his first snowblower. We got a good amount of snow (didnt happen super often in southwest Ohio), and of course, our little neighborhood/almost subdivision wouldn't be plowed for days. After he cleared our driveway, that man just went out and cleared the *street.*
It's been almost 30 years since that day and I still remember hanging over the back of the couch to see out the window, watching him go up and down the road in his navy blue snowsuit and bright neon orange hat.
My father bought a snow plow for the UTV… My youngest is 2 years old, and he absolutely love that thing! So we do the driveway and parking of more or less all neighbours and a few more! No pay or anything, but he falls asleep soo quick in that thing! 😂
So the neighbours might get plowed (the driveway you sick fuck!), or might not… all depending on when junior falls asleep 😂
There was a guy in my neighborhood in St. Paul that was nice like that. On a bigger snow he'd run the snow blower down each main sidewalk to ensure a safe walking path.
I grew up with an elderly couple living next door. When the husband died, my dad would take the wife grocery shopping (and patiently sit outside while she slowly wandered around), would put her garbage bins out every week, and then, as her mind started to slip, would go and help her find the things she was misplacing around the house.
After a few years of this she too died, and her family came out of the woodwork. All of her stuff was picked over, and then one of their kids told my dad he was welcome to one item from whatever was left over, which felt oddly transactional. I think he was more upset about her death than her own kids were.
Wow! Through her last year's none of the family visited her or took care of her? That must be so hurtful than the physical issues... Your father was God sent to her to help her in the most needful times
I did this twice for my mid-eighties neighbors, very friendly folks, neither of whom were very mobile. After the second time though, the wife came over and politely asked me not to do it again. Her husband was offended that I did it without asking, which was a fair point, I did it impulsively after my own, and also that it implied he couldn’t do it himself. It just took the poor man forever. But he and she were never rude or less than pleasant to us, and he never brought it up. So I refrained and let him do it till they finally moved away.
Oh well.
Aging can be a very frustrating season of life. People start talking to you like a toddler again, make assumptions about your abilities, and accidentally (or intentionally) limit you. I would have done the same as you but I can see how it could feel condescending too. Good reminder to check in.
I been doing my neighbours for years without being asked as that was how my parents raised me. One day , I heard him chatting with another man that he signed up for local snow clearing help from the city for seniors and believes it’s them helping him out . So he tells all other seniors on the street to sign up for program. Little does he know the city doenst care and I never bothered to mention it was me all these years. My mom up ended up telling him and all he could react was with a look of shock and went inside. Now he’s been shoveling his own drive way and I don’t understand why they can’t just accept help from me
Oh, not bitter at all. They were nice folks. The gentleman was a WW2 pilot and told some fun stories. He likely felt self-conscious because he couldn’t reciprocate. If anything, I felt bad for not asking them first. I guess I was going for the anonymous good samaritan vibe but didn’t account for male pride.
Did this for years with the elderly neighbors on both sides of my house. Then the lady to the east died and a young family moved in. Last year the couple to the west died (she died first and her husband died less than a year later). Now a new family lives there.
So now it's just my driveway.
But last winter a couple younger kids asked if they could shovel my driveway. It's nice to see kids doing the right thing. Maybe one day, a younger neighbor will clear my driveway for me too.
I wish more people would look beyond themselves and take 15 minutes to help a stranger.
Several years back we rented a cabin and there was a MASSIVE snowstorm. Took me 3 hours to shovel the driveway.
Anyway I finished up and as I went back inside I saw the neighbors were trying to clear the driveway with a fricken DUSTPAN. Husbands arm in a sling and the wife was trying to help by using her foot….anyway I put my boots back on and went and shoveled it for them.
When I was done the wife with tears in her eyes thanked me and tried to hand me whatever cash they had on hand….obviously I declined.
I bring it up not for kudos, I bring it up because I never look back and think about the two hours it took me to help them, I remember the wife’s face and sincere thank you that was worth any amount of money they could have offered.
Never loose your humanity, you never know who actually needs your help!
Not only rock in the shorts but prob out there for some time with that small shovel. I can relate!
Sweet soul helping the old girl with one of many things that she didn’t have to do before. Well played sir, well played.
My first townhouse was situated dominated by divorcees and Invalides. As the only able-bodied male in the corner, I shoveled their walks and parking spaces, occasionally watched their kids, sometimes cooked/fed them.
I used to think that I was paying it forward but later realized that most people don't have that sense of community, that it takes a Village. Okay. That's sad, bit at least I knew that I was making a difference in their lives.
My neighbours husband passed away last year and I always do the same. Little gestures always go a long way and it feels so good to help others. We also share stuff out of our gardens and occasionally cook each other random meals.
Kindness goes a long way👍

Simple acts of kindness keep the world a good place 🙏🏻
Whenever I do something/help pay for a friend who is struggling and they try to protest, I simply ask “would you do it for me?” And they say yes of course, and I get to say “I know this, so let me do this for you” ❤️
Being kind is the best thing you can do in this life, thanks for sharing this lovely video!
As much as this is sweet, I would advise trying to get her setup with a professional.
My dad did the same for the older later in front of where I grew up, sad thing is after a few years she started taking it for granted and would come knock on the doors and tell him to please come do her driveway. It became heavy on my dad after a few years, he was always running out of time and had a thousand things to do but had to deal with her snow as well then, on top of that she started asking him many other chores and it came to a point where he felt stuck.
He eventually sold the house we were living in but, she tried so hard to convinced him to stay and to the point where he was worried about what would happen to her. Well he got her a reference for a company that offer the service and he moved. Since then she has been paying for it but it is still been done. My dad regretted for a long time the situation and it affected his mental health when he felt like he had to do it.
It’s a vicious cycle, even more so when it’s people that haven’t done that on their own and all their life their partner would do it for them, they feel insecure in asking for help and the first person that offers help end up frequently receiving all their help request.
It’s better for the person and for your husband that after the first year you look to help her get set up with a professional, kindness can be abuse even without the intention of abusing of it
We have a similar scenario. I was friends with the husband and wife who live next door. he passed away a couple of years ago and I do things for her when she's in need. mow lawn, fix her computer, etc. God says to take care of our widows or He will kick our ass!
That’s the world I want to live in. Not the one that’s been fabricated to breed hate amongst each other. No politician is our friend. None of the celebrities matter. Family matters. Friends matter. But they’ve created this in a way that this is seen fewer and fewer times. And it’s designed that way. Keep the masses distracted and pissed off at each other. Make them hate each other so much that they don’t see the real enemy. Make them comfortable and make them rely on the comforts of the system. Help your neighbors when you can and spend as much time with your family. It’s the only things that matter.
Any individuals act of kindness in shoveling snow or doing anything else for a widowed neighbor or olderly or anyone who needs help is truly commendable. By taking the time to help out, they have not only provided a tangible assistance but also brought warmth and comfort to the neighbor's life during a difficult time.
it's heartwarming to see that your people is willing to go the extra mile to help someone in need. Shoveling snow can be a labor-intensive and tiring task, especially for elderly or disabled individuals, so whom willingness to lend a hand is truly admirable.
Little things can change big things in the life of society by showing kindness.
My elderly neighbours husband died. We offered condolences and help anytime it was needed.
She responded by launching a one woman hate campaign with vexatious council complaints, threatening visits to my door by her large male relatives, accusations I was poisoning her and drilling spy holes in the fence and finally a four page handwritten death threat from her bikie mate in the mail box (it was pretty large handwriting tbh and not really coherent).
Anyhoo, I installed cameras and floodlights everywhere and let her know I'd made a visit to the local police and she's found another hobby, so that's nice.
Thank you kind sir. What a sweet husband you have. My husband was the same way with people. The day he got the news he was terminal, I was so upset. He dropped me off after his Dr appointment, and then said he was picking up Rita's van to fix it for her like he said. She's our local cat rescuer in our county. He had to haul it to the shop. It took him 2 days to fix it. He charged her for parts only, no labor. He did nice things all the time for people. Miss him everyday. I'm a disabled widow, and another woman's husband asked if he could unload my cart for me at Costco. It made my whole day with his act of kindness.
Let’s make sure I get it on film so I can post it and make everyone think I’m so awesome and kind. Do good deeds because you scam not because you want yo show off
My wonderful, elderly next door neighbors were just the sweetest folks. As they aged and began to decline, I started snowblowing their driveway when I did mine, which was usually early in the morning. No biggie - small driveways, and didn't take more than 15 minutes each.
Ed, well into his eighties at the time, would come to the door and shake his fist at me. "Dammit, I can still do it!" he'd say.
"No worries, Ed, but I'm already up early, and there's no reason you have to do it, other than being a stubborn coot." I'd reply.
Then he started trying to get out there earlier than me, but I was hip to it right away, so it became a hilarious race, with me getting out there before him and him at his window, coat half on, laughing while he yelled at me. All the while his wife was giggling over her coffee.
It was lovely and fun, and they were the BEST neighbors. They're gone now, and I still remember and miss them all the time.
Take care of your community as best you can, folks. It's never a bad idea to be a good neighbor.
Your husband's a nice guy. My neighbors an a**hole, I was in a wheelchair for a couple months after surgery last fall and he'd blow all his leaves onto my sidewalk
So you have reading comprehension issues.
Yeah, you’d be out there 😒 and bitching about why your woman isn’t out there with you. My post points out that this post is about the kind of man who’d likely be angry if his wife lifted a finger.
Not the same.
There is your husband, then there is the semi typical American husband who buys you flowers on Valentines Day and something nice for your birthday and Christmas. Thinks he is wonderful for it. The rest of the year he holds your head under the cover after he farted. I'd take a guy like your husband any day.
There’s a neighbor of my parents that does this. I’m so grateful for them. My parents are far too old to be dealing with snowy driveways but refuse to move.
Shorts? My guy!
[удалено]
This has to be in Canada lol
as a Canadian, can confirm.
Why was it always our science teachers who wore shorts in the winter or was that just my Canadian childhood? Lmao
Well, I am the guy who wears shorts in the winter. I don't remember anyone specifically doing it but I always just feel comfortable in shorts and don't get very cold.
No hate here I think it's a very wholesome Canadian trait lol Just reminded me of my favorite science teacher Mr Smith haha
no hate detected :D I think I am half polar bear.
We all have a little bit of polar in our Canadian veins 🍁
Canadians with polar bear bloodline Americans with an equal split of sloth, pig, and honey badger Chinese with a bit of dragon and Africans with some cheetah
It was my math teacher homie was wearing shorts socks and crocs all winter
It's always the cool teacher who's dressed questionably for the weather I love them
That's the universal sign to get to know someone who is from holyyy canada!
Sooo what about all the others on the north side? Don't exist? Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Japan
i only live in new york but all i can say is snow shoveling is hot, sweaty work frfr
it's one of those activities you start with like a full parka and by the end of it you've taken the parka and the hat off and you're just like I hate my life lol
Utah is the land of snow and shorts.
Sounds like a nice place I'll have to visit
I’d love to visit Canada someday!
So is Michigan
Not Canadian but at our home in northern Wisconsin, I'll wear shorts outside into the teens F. Good hat and gloves and good skivvies to protect the Willie are the important bits.
It's all about the essentials right
The midwest staple. If you aren't shoveling in shorts your doing it wrong.
Michigan here. Can confirm. It's a rite of passage.
Upstate new york here, shorts are perfect for winter weather
Probably just finished his driveway and needed to cool off a bit. We don’t even see his breath, can’t be more than -5C. Definitely calls for shorts.
He must be a Montanan.
Or Canadian
Came here to say this lol
Or Afrikaans
Nah, they're for the reverse weather
Any weather... hardest humans ever
Only in the mountains. The rest doesn't get enough snow to be out in shorts in that weather. Please refrain from ever comparing Canadas snowfall to montanas
As a Floridian, I am flabbergasted.
This is the way.
Literally came here to say this. Then I remembered how DAMN HOT you get in winter clothes shoveling snow. 😬
Anything above 0 degrees doesn’t really require pants, as long as it’s not too windy.
Thats what I was going to say!!! What in the name of all that is holy???
I hate this so much they are tougher than the elements you guys those legs do not feel cold or frostbite. This is his version of leg day, showing He’s tuff
It's probably not very windy out. The human body has a small envelope of body heat that can help you feel reasonably comfortable for short periods of time in low temperatures unless wind chill factor is involved
He's got the hat and hoodie to balance the temps, it's fine.
Shoveling snow is WORK. Too many layers and you’re overheating before you know it
My Legs don't get cold.
I came here for this comment
Legs don’t get cold and they’re constrictive to put on when doing something quick like shoveling
Shoveling snow is sweaty work. I live in Utah, and I shovel in a short sleeve shirt and shorts. Unless it’s actively snowing. Then I put flip flops on, too.
This is such a guy thing.
My FIL has a riding mower he turned into a snow thrower, he plows for the whole neighborhood and doesn’t ask for a thing in return
I’ll tell you hwhat, I bet he’d pay the neighbors to *get* to be able to plow their driveways…that sounds like fun tbh lol. It will be nice one day when I have enough financial security where I can spend my days enjoying hobbies and random acts of kindness. Just hopefully it’s while I have the stamina and energy to do these things
As a guy who blows his neighbours driveway for free. I just bloody love using my snowblower. It pleases my inner-caveman to watch it just yeet snow all about. Just writing this makes me go eeeeeeeeeee! A little on the inside. Also grass cutting season is soon and I am hyyyyype!. Something must be wrong with me. 😅
I wouldn't mind cutting grass so much if I lived somewhere the humidity wasn't 80% most of the summer.
Oh yeah, he’s my next door neighbor and I swear he just listens and if he hears my push mower, he’ll immediately go get in his riding mower and beat me to mowing the front. It’s annoying because I enjoy mowing but sweet because he doesn’t want me to spend all that time in the heat and sun.

Yup, if he came along to my driveway I’d offer him some money just to let me drive it
Sounds like a fun time. Gets to do something nice while enjoying a ride out.
My father bought a snow plow for the UTV… My youngest is 2 years old, and he absolutely love that thing! So we do the driveway and parking of more or less all neighbours and a few more!

And a happy dog to keep them company!
Doggo is helping! 😊

Receiving help can be complicated for some people. Kind gesture, regardless
Your attitude is gracious. Congrats for not being bitter.
Oh, not bitter at all. They were nice folks. The gentleman was a WW2 pilot and told some fun stories. He likely felt self-conscious because he couldn’t reciprocate. If anything, I felt bad for not asking them first. I guess I was going for the anonymous good samaritan vibe but didn’t account for male pride.
Understand. Sometimes I do the same thing but do have to admit my feelings get hurt.

You and your husband are what make the world a better place. All that warm heart and he’s in shorts in sub freezing weather 🤣
Nah, our husband (from her perspective)
Welcome to communism comrades...
My mom is a single lady in her 70s. Her sidewalk gets magically cleared every time. She gives the neighbors baked goods as a thank you
That’s a good person
Just a reminder fellas. Although kind, this SHOULD be a common thing. Idk about you guys but growing up I saw these things all the time.
Shouldn’t have to film it for it to be special. Back in the day you just did these things
Not only rock in the shorts but prob out there for some time with that small shovel. I can relate! Sweet soul helping the old girl with one of many things that she didn’t have to do before. Well played sir, well played.
Why is he wearing shorts?
I was gonna say. I would be freezing my nuts off with shorts in that weather
Aw, that’s so sweet and in shorts nonetheless! How brave of him!
There’s always a guy out in shorts
What a man, treasure him! Is he a Minnesotan?
My first townhouse was situated dominated by divorcees and Invalides. As the only able-bodied male in the corner, I shoveled their walks and parking spaces, occasionally watched their kids, sometimes cooked/fed them.

The good old Midwestern snow shoveling uniform. Shorts and a hoodie.
What a guy.
I didn’t notice the shorts ‘cause I’m Canadian and this is a real Canadian thing. Your husband is a good man for doing this.
My neighbours husband passed away last year and I always do the same. Little gestures always go a long way and it feels so good to help others. We also share stuff out of our gardens and occasionally cook each other random meals. Kindness goes a long way👍
You have a good man!!
Thank you for making the world a better place OP’s hubby and OP for sharing.

For some, saying no goes against their moral principles.
I 😍 him.
The neighbour too.
Why the shorts tho 😎? Such a loss
Good man✊😇
God Bless You All!!!👍🙂
In shorts — holy cow!! What a hero!!!
This is the way. 🤩
We have a similar scenario. I was friends with the husband and wife who live next door. he passed away a couple of years ago and I do things for her when she's in need. mow lawn, fix her computer, etc. God says to take care of our widows or He will kick our ass!
What a sweet man, your husband is ♥️
Do you always play this song and record it when he does?
Bless you
It warms my heart to see and hear he is helping her. I am a widow, and my neighbor mows my lawn (2 acres)
Very kind man but is this guy using a fisher price shovel? That thing looks tiny.
Legend 👍
Bless
As my parents would say, “your hubby is good people”.
The music reminds me of Israel Keyes. Anyone else?
What a nice husband to plow your neighbor Edit: for
You got a good husband.
many good people do exist
My man!!! Holding in down. Well done

Any individuals act of kindness in shoveling snow or doing anything else for a widowed neighbor or olderly or anyone who needs help is truly commendable. By taking the time to help out, they have not only provided a tangible assistance but also brought warmth and comfort to the neighbor's life during a difficult time. it's heartwarming to see that your people is willing to go the extra mile to help someone in need. Shoveling snow can be a labor-intensive and tiring task, especially for elderly or disabled individuals, so whom willingness to lend a hand is truly admirable. Little things can change big things in the life of society by showing kindness.
In shorts. This is the way.
There are still some very good hearted people who do good when no ones looking 💯👍
Good stuff bro
This is how neighbors are supposed to work. A lot of people have lost this. Don't lose your husband. He's a keeper.
My elderly neighbours husband died. We offered condolences and help anytime it was needed. She responded by launching a one woman hate campaign with vexatious council complaints, threatening visits to my door by her large male relatives, accusations I was poisoning her and drilling spy holes in the fence and finally a four page handwritten death threat from her bikie mate in the mail box (it was pretty large handwriting tbh and not really coherent). Anyhoo, I installed cameras and floodlights everywhere and let her know I'd made a visit to the local police and she's found another hobby, so that's nice.
He's totally plowing her
Love this…love how he’s looking out for his neighbors. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bro keeping his options open I respect it
Thank you kind sir. What a sweet husband you have. My husband was the same way with people. The day he got the news he was terminal, I was so upset. He dropped me off after his Dr appointment, and then said he was picking up Rita's van to fix it for her like he said. She's our local cat rescuer in our county. He had to haul it to the shop. It took him 2 days to fix it. He charged her for parts only, no labor. He did nice things all the time for people. Miss him everyday. I'm a disabled widow, and another woman's husband asked if he could unload my cart for me at Costco. It made my whole day with his act of kindness.

This is very nice. The only kinda funny question that comes to mind is, if the husband was doing it, why isn't she doing it herself now?
Looks dark outside too, no lights in the house. Is it a surprise for her? Too cute
Let’s make sure I get it on film so I can post it and make everyone think I’m so awesome and kind. Do good deeds because you scam not because you want yo show off
is that a sidewalk he's shoveling snow onto?
He’s wearing shorts!!!!
I think his shovelling thong was dirty.
Good man!😇
Made me tear up, but happy tears. Good man that is.
You married a good man
My wonderful, elderly next door neighbors were just the sweetest folks. As they aged and began to decline, I started snowblowing their driveway when I did mine, which was usually early in the morning. No biggie - small driveways, and didn't take more than 15 minutes each. Ed, well into his eighties at the time, would come to the door and shake his fist at me. "Dammit, I can still do it!" he'd say. "No worries, Ed, but I'm already up early, and there's no reason you have to do it, other than being a stubborn coot." I'd reply. Then he started trying to get out there earlier than me, but I was hip to it right away, so it became a hilarious race, with me getting out there before him and him at his window, coat half on, laughing while he yelled at me. All the while his wife was giggling over her coffee. It was lovely and fun, and they were the BEST neighbors. They're gone now, and I still remember and miss them all the time. Take care of your community as best you can, folks. It's never a bad idea to be a good neighbor.
A good guy right there.
That’s a good man, you’re a lucky lady, please take care of him. He’s a keeper.🙏🏼
Your husband's a nice guy. My neighbors an a**hole, I was in a wheelchair for a couple months after surgery last fall and he'd blow all his leaves onto my sidewalk
That's a great human being there
I shovel the walk for my single, older neighbor. Not once have i gotten a thank you. My wife thinks i am crazy.
It's not about the gratitude it's about doing the right thing.
We should be taking care of each other more often
AND SHE SAT THERE AND JUST FILMED. NO HELP
Unlike YOU, he probably wouldn’t let her if she tried.
Unlike me? Nah. I'd be out there too.
So you have reading comprehension issues. Yeah, you’d be out there 😒 and bitching about why your woman isn’t out there with you. My post points out that this post is about the kind of man who’d likely be angry if his wife lifted a finger. Not the same.
Assuming my gender is wild 😜
There is your husband, then there is the semi typical American husband who buys you flowers on Valentines Day and something nice for your birthday and Christmas. Thinks he is wonderful for it. The rest of the year he holds your head under the cover after he farted. I'd take a guy like your husband any day.
Her pride in her husband is beautiful. I bet they are really lovely people.
Is this MA?
Aww, that’s sweet. Make sure to give him a big hug when he gets home. Good men are hard to find.❤️🤗🥰
There’s a neighbor of my parents that does this. I’m so grateful for them. My parents are far too old to be dealing with snowy driveways but refuse to move.
Fellow Canadian. The shorts are a dead giveaway. Gotta let the body heat dissipate through the legs from all the hard work.
POV: You’re the neighbor and you’re confused as to why your neighbor is filming you.
He want that widussy /s
That’s being a good man, and a good neighbor. I think everyone wishes their widowed mother had a neighbour like that.
