Alright Winter.....Enough Already!

I don’t think I’ve ever felt cold like this before, cold where it physically hurts just to be outside.  Stepping outside to walk to work with a winter hat and gloves on but face exposed felt like someone pinching my face.  I live in New England and have my entire life but can’t remember feeling cold like this.  What an interesting winter so far.  We’ve accumulated upwards towards 60 inches of snow and it’s only January 24^th.  Suffice to say with another HUGE nor’easter on the horizon that winter is kicking our ass this year.  Maybe it’s me but I’m done with snow, cold and WINTER!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no pussy but this is just too much.  I’ve learned to deal with winters here in New England.  I hate the cold, hate the snow but in the past have actually looked forward to the changing of the seasons and the occasional snow but 60 inches in a month and a half is just overboard.  I really have no place to put anymore snow.  I have pathways around my house to get to things and the snow is already over six feet in certain areas at my house.  What am I going to do with another 24 inches?

I know this is a petty post, especially those that live in the extreme North areas of the world.  I can see you now rolling your eyes and calling me feminine names.  The thing is I don’t care.  I’m calling Uncle.  This is just too much and I’ve had enough.  If I didn’t have so many friends and family in this area, I would be willing to bet that this winter would have tipped the scale and had me looking at new areas to live down South.  Not Florida or anything but North or South Carolina possibly.  It’s all a pipe dream right now though because I couldn’t take my son away from his grandparents and I just don’t know if it’s the right time to make a move like that.  We’ll see what happens though with another snow storm or two.  I could see another 30 inches of snow helping me make the move real quickly.  Bundle up and stay inside if you can because this winter is trying to KILL US!
