Pavlovian shovel.

This morning, I was woken by the sound of a shovel on concrete, which my brain immediately associates with "snow day". It was all I could do not to call my mother and tell her to turn on the TV to see if school was closed.

During my junior year, there was something with the radiators in Pinkney that sounded like someone shoveling snow off of concrete all winter long. It was so bizarre. Also, sometimes in the middle of the night, just a little creepy.
