1. It looks like a headless bird now
That's quite a massive storm. What is it -- the third or fourth this season already?

6. I'm also tired of this weather
As I grow older, it is harder and harder to come out of the seasonal affective disorder I sink into. I plan to move to a warmer, drier climate later this year.

17. We've had more than our share of "fun" here this year.
Clean up isn't even complete from the last bad storm, so another one isn't my definition of "fun".

18. not much fun and still a mess from Nov here
we had a bid storm right before thanksgiving, tress down on roads, power out for days, tree on our shop. Then snow/ice and bumper ripped off car. A cousin had their house totalled by 4 trees in Dec. Now it is dumping and blowing and debris around again. OK, granted, thank goodness, there are not 20-30 ft storm surges and lots of tornados, but still, it is a mess, it is a pain, people have died.
