Minnesota Median 

A long snow pile that forms in the middle of a wide town road after it's plowed. The snow pile is often not traversable without the most hickest of pickup trucks, so it essentially functions as if a median was installed on the road.
I was goin out fer a rip on the old snow cat when I got to main street and saw the plows came through already and formed that Minnesota Median that always shows up around there.

That's when I decided to take my snow cat and jump the Minnesota Median and oh you betcha that was the best thing I've done on rip in a while.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
