Autumn in New England

It's snowing. Again. Must be the fifth or sixth snowstorm in December, totaling 30+ inches. Maybe five inches so far today, and no end in sight. We've got the most shovel-friendly driveway on earth (less than five feet of pavement beyond our cars), yet I've spent as much time shoveling this month as I've spent eating. This morning, I shoveled and cleared off the cars a little before 7, and when I went back outseide at 8, it looked exactly the same as it did before I shoveled. Rigoddamndiculous.

Oh, and winter starts on Saturday.
