I don't like to complain, but when I heard that there was more snow in the forecast this week, my first thought was [expletive deleted].
My next thought was also profanity laced, but it was more along the lines of, "of course." It's February. In this part of the world, that means snow. Or ice, or possibly just life-threatening wind chill temperatures. Whatever.
As Midwesterners are fond of saying, it's the days like this that make you appreciate the muddy, grey chill of the coming Midwestern spring even more. This is what is known in the Midwest as "perspective." The winter-hardy people of the plains are famous for it, along with something called "green bean casserole," which is a dish people make when they have completely given up.

Remember, you will always have a warm, welcoming place to land in sunny Miami with a swimming pool just outside your door, fresh coconut water from the trees in the backyard and plenty of rum to mix into it.

The munching icicle teeth are perfection.
Everything else I would write in comment includes so many redacted expletives that they cannot be construed as sentences.

Imagine the sentences we could write while drinking rum and coconut water in Josie's back yard.
