I hate winter

Winter has arrived in full force.  Unfortunately, it has appeared a lot earlier than in previous years. Last year, for instance, we had a green Christmas (one without snow).  We were into January before the snow fell and the temperature dropped enough for it to stay.

But, starting a week ago, the snow fell and, to my dismay, it stayed.  And you know what?  It has hardly stopped since then.  It seems like every time I look out the window, the sky is filled with flurries.  You can see it especially well at night, like now, when you look up at the street lights.

Pretty it may be, but it's also a huge pain in the ass.

Stephen and I have had to shovel the car out twice so far and I've had to scale a massive snow bank to get to work.  By the time I got there, my boots had snow in them, my jeans were wet and I was all sweaty.

I hate winter.
