Was that a snowflake? Oh my god, was that really a snowflake? Maybe I just have something in my eye. Oh no, wait, that’s definitely a snowflake. WINTER IS COMING. Once you accept the cold hard fact that the chilly season is officially upon us, there are some thoughts that all Massachusetts residents are all too familiar with.

1. Oh $@*!

Where is global warming when I need it? Where?
2. It's so dark out. And only 4pm. I should have appreciated the sun more. Forgive me, sun.

3. Goodbye legs. See you in April.

And arms. And probably neck, too. On the positive side, my holiday love handles can hide out beneath these huge sweaters without anyone being the wiser.
4. I mean, I can definitely work off some of those Christmas cookies on the slopes.

5. Do I have enough salt? Is 150 bags of salt enough? I need to get more salt.

A slip and fall accident in the driveway is not how I want to leave this world.
6. I can't wait for everyone to suddenly forget how to drive.

Haven't you people ever seen snow before??? Does every good driver in the state just hibernate until spring???
7. I should trade in my Prius for a snowplow. Or a dog sled.

Sled dogs are noble creatures. I can name them after Santa's reindeer.
