This winter has sucked so far.
I dragged my sick self outside to shovel last night fully knowing that we were only about halfway through about a day and a half of steady snow and don't regret it, as it will make the next round of shoveling easier...

Here in NYC I was watching the news and they were showing footage of cars spun out on roads in LongIsland and plows pushing snow onto the side of roads. I looked out the window and there was only a light dusting so far. Not even an inch. It wasn't until I looked closer at the TV that I saw they were replaying footage from LAST YEAR. 2013. What the heck?!! They sure do like to sensationalize their newscasts.

These negative sentiments regarding the current perfectly normal and acceptable meteorological conditions have to cease, they're driving air conditioning sales down.

But this is offset by all the panic buying at supermarkets and snowblower dealers.

OK, I was feeling sorry for myself since it's going to be in the 30's,40's and 50's here for the next couple of days and I truly detest cold weather. Thanks for the perspective. I'll be quiet, now.
