I hate winter. Have I mentioned that I hate winter??

Heavy snow overnight, followed by a rainy mix and barely-above freezing temps, big pile of heavy slushy snow to shovel. Now we're getting a few more inches from the "backside" of the nor'easter.

I really hate nor'easters.

Tomorrow night we'll get more snow thanks to a clipper system from the west.

The forecast for the next few days shows lower temperatures every time they update it.

They say we'll reach 50 by the middle of next week but I'll believe it when I see it.

p.s. At least I looked good while shoveling snow. The Sugoi Firewall 260 jacket is a keeper. With a base layer and long sleeved cycling jersey underneath, I was comfortable, dry and stylin' in sleet, light snow and 34-degree temps.
