Snow means blizzards and cold and ice and scraping windshields and shoveling the sidewalk and snowblowing the driveway and snowbanks that block sight at corners and old people that drive way too slow and idiots in 4x4 SUVs that drive way too fast and not being able to take the toddler out for long walks in his stroller and it's dark really early and it'll be like this for the next four or five months.

Christmas, though? Bah, humbug!
