So This Is What They Call A "Noreaster"?

It's been snowing on and off all day. We got around another 10 inches on top of the snow that was already there. This is ridiculous. It's borderline stupid. There's nowhere else to put the freaking snow. The snow pile is now as tall as joe. Stupid. A giant tree branch fell down in our back yard and is about a foot away from having smashed our back window. It's still attached, just weighed down beyond its capacity. Stupid. Power lines are weighed down with over an inch of snow and ice. Stupid. There's somewhere around 10,000 people without power in Maine. Stupid. I just heard on the news that the governor of Maine is declaring a state of emergency in Maine due to the weather conditions. Stupid.

Okay, I've re-evaluated the situation, and this amount of snow is officially stupid. I've never seen so much in my life. And while I think it's beautiful, it's becoming unmanageable. Maybe if I were a kid getting snow days out of this situation, building snow men and igloos, I might be a bit more tolerant. But seeing as how I still have to go into work and carry on with my daily life and schedule....my patience is being tested.
