Enough with the snow already

[Selkie]

I am mentally preparing myself to shovel out this weekend. But this is what I'm worried about:

My sister's birthday is Feb 10. My father and I have often commented that we usually get snow somewhere between her birthday and Valentine's Day. And every few years we get a blizzard somewhere between her birthday and President's Day.

But this next storm is coming on Feb 6!! So is the traditional blizzard just a bit early, or will we get another one in a week or two?????

The final indignity: I turn 47 on 6 February. Yes, one of the most anti-snow people in the DC area will have a BLIZZARD (and not the DQ kind) as her birthday present!

Let's hope this is IT.
