Going on record today...Officially sick of winter...

And it’s not even winter yet.

Seems like 5 straight days of some kinda snow. Did the obligatory “Oh it’s so beautiful!” , seems like years ago.
THEN…a polar vortex…come on.

I predict a 17 novel winter. Book wise.

It's December 3rd and I've had to blow snow 4 times already and we're looking at a low of 4° tonight!
Already bored with it.

It looks a lot better than all that dead brown stuff, but the older I get the more annoyed I am by snow. Still, I put on my ice cleats so I don't fall on my ancient ass and break a hip, and go for a walk every day, and try to enjoy the fact that at least I'm not getting all sweaty and being chewed up by mosquitoes so big they can fuck a turkey standing flat-footed. Gotta love the Midwest.

It was a super mast year…we knew it would happen because of the catkins in the spring. But old backs…THEN…
right after kinda recovering 9 inches of heavy wet snow, even the snowblower complained.

Now the holidays…exhausted.

I live in the Midwest. I was looking through my daily planner from a few years ago and noticed that on one day it was 83 in the afternoon, and we had three inches of snow overnight. Never a dull moment.

She's a teacher so at least she got a snow say out of it, lol. Not much snow here in Lansing, but it's cold af.

The only good thing is I get to wear a hat when I go out and it disguises bad hair days.
