It's Groundhog Day here. The whole province is waiting on a groundhog to emerge from its hole and, hopefully, see it's shadow so we can pretend winter is nearly over.
Yeah.
It's like winter saved up all the horribleness for weeks and weeks, and is now trying to dump all of it on us in what remains of winter. I'd really like to just curl up and hibernate until spring.
There's another storm heading in this afternoon. I was feeling just cruddy enough this morning that I didn't feel guilty about deciding to work from home, because being caught in a snowstorm driving home while feeling like crap is not my thing.
Apparently this storm will bring snow and rain, and the temps will immediate plunge to arctic levels so tomorrow's commute will probably be hell because nothing will get cleared before the temps drop. Apparently today's commute around my office isn't much fun because everything is still ice rink-like after the weekend's ridiculous weather combo of rain immediately followed by double digit minus number temps.
So, groundhog, please tell us winter will soon be over. I know we had a really mild start to the winter, but now we're getting slammed every two days and I need to buy groceries at some stage soon.
Yeah.

*weeps* Another six weeks of this hell? Nooooo!
