Brace yourselves......

November in New England here brings about some weird weather. Actually, the east coast has been experiencing some pretty strange weather in general this year. The summer was pretty mild and we were spared the sweltering, humid days on end that we normally end up having to suffer through. And now that we are well into the fall, We could start to see some wicked snowfall pretty soon. Not that I'm complaining or anything. It's pretty to see and the kids and I get to have a whole lot of fun playing in it. And the possibility of a school delay or a snow day altogether? BONUS! Let's all sleep in! W00T! But on the other hand, shoveling it isn't fun. Driving in it sucks. And it's fucking cold. Add that to the fact that the holidays are looming ever closer and you've got enough reason for me to want to hibernate until the spring thaw.

I've been hearing the opposite extremes as to what to expect this winter. Mild, won't be too cold, we may not get that much snow, meh...... And HOLY SHIT! STOCK UP ON A WHOLE BUNCH OF SHIT BECAUSE THIS BITCH IS GOING TO BE EXTREME! WE ARE ABOUT TO GET SLAMMED WITH THE HARSHEST WINTER WE'VE SEEN IN ABOUT 216 YEARS! We may be facing the apocalypse!

I'm not sure which way to go. I'm sure it'll fall somewhere in the middle of all that, but yeah. We've been having some pretty mild winters around these parts as well. We did get FLABAMMO-ed with a wicked blizzard last winter, but other then that..... Meh. I'm really not sure what to expect. Just like with any of the other seasons. I don't even rely on the weather reporters any more. They're usually wrong anyway. I just sort of wake up in the morning, open the front door and take a look and get a feel of the temperature. It's generally a good  measure of what it's going to be like outside. Regardless, the changing of the seasons again is near.
