Dear Winter,

Enough already! You have been quite generous since November, but frankly, it is getting old! I have been able to ride my bike exactly ONCE since December 1. My beautiful car is unrecognizable from the amount of cr*p from the road and I've given up washing it because as soon as I spend the money to wash it, the stuff returns the next day. I can't keep throwing money at it and my car isn't happy.

NOW I hear we might get an inch of ice or more Tuesday or Wed, and points NW of us might get 10 inches of snow! Please give us a break, I do NOT want to use my vacation time because I won't drive to work during/after an ice storm. I think we might also be running out of salt and sand in the area and you have already given us more than a foot of snow than we normally get.

Please cease and desist,

Thank you.
