Out of the deep freeze...

I cry to thee: "Why? What did we do?"

Enough winter. I've had it. My patience has run out. The ground hog did not see his shadow, it's time for this nonsense to end. The last time I remember snow being this deep everywhere has to have been after the snows of 1979, the ones that dumped Michael Bilandic out of the Chicago mayor's office and put Jane Byrne in his place.

Anyway, it's time to go to bed. With extra blankets and plushies. I wish I had a hot water bottle.

I don't mind the snow, but the cold is starting to get a little on the annoying side.

Yes, I'm sure it's the temperatures that are bothering me more than the actual snow, as well. Though with this much lingering on the ground and roofs, I'm really worried about what happens when it melts.

Of course, the narrow minded are busy claiming that snow and cold "disproves" global climate change theories, but based on what I learned in school as long ago as half a century back, it actually makes sense. The Arctic Ocean is warming, polar ice is melting, sea level is rising, all of which increase precipitation and lower temperatures in continental interiors. An overall temperature rise doesn't mean it gets warmer everywhere right away.
