I AM officially fed up with Winter!!

Actually, I was officially fed up with Winter in September.

Okay, I like New England. Mostly because it is so green in the Spring and the Summertime!! The only problem with New England is the Winter!! It is as miserable as a motorist during the 5pm commute on the Mass Pike!! And that includes me.

Okay, so it might not be as bad as Buffalo New York per say. But it's pretty dogone close!!

A lot of people I've talked with have felt about the same as I do. I think this Winter has probably been the worst I can remember. I think it's more than just being whacked with that hellacious ice storm that a great many people lost power for a good week. And just when you think you can breath a little while from the last snow storm we're hit with another one.

Thankfully last night wasn't nearly as bad as people thought it would be. But just the sight of snow falling just makes my skin crawl.

There's nothing pretty about it because I know I will have to shovel it in the morning.

But I think the whole world and economic climate hasn't helped people's mood either with losing jobs or getting your paycheck cut or businesses losing customers. It's not fun right now and this weather just brings the ole mood down.

I think it's bad enough people are having a tough time making ends meet but knowing they may miss a day of work because they're snowed in is frustrating. Not to mention that the days are shorter so we're all Jonesin' because of lack of sunlight.

Getting through January/Febrary is a tough stretch. And so is the countdown to March 20th and the first day of Spring. You know the end is in sight and we've nearly kicked that bastard named Old Man Winter in the teeth. But getting there can be equally as tedious and frustrating as getting through the highest part of Winter.

I thought I was starting to come down with something yesterday but I think it's just stress, frustration and loneliness.

But hang in there folks. We're nearly there now. And I keep telling myself that every day.
