"Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. " Willa Cather

It's enough already. First the thought of another snow day from school when we didn't expect it was kind of cool--a novelty. Then I started to think about it a little more and detest the reason this region is so inhospitable to outsiders. Tons and tons of heavy wet snow dumped unceremoniously in the middle of almost spring. It was the straw that broke my spirit in 1984 and precipitated my flight to Arizona (where, incidentally, it also SNOWS!) At least we didn't get three feet of it like they did in Flagstaff. But it's "enough to shovel" (a cute phrase the weather guys up here so cheerfully inform us!)
