Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

Affected Seasonally

The weather is the easiest thing to write about. Especially when it sucks. Because it's something everyone can relate to. We all experience the weather in some way or another. Well, except if you're a hermit or a graduate student.

It seems almost cliche at this point to talk about this winter, because it's been so utterly awful. After last Friday when the temperatures reached a boner-inducing 68 degrees here in New York, I thought winter was making it's curtain call. But just like in calculus class, I was wrong again. The next thing I know, I am shoveling 8 inches of snow out of my driveway.

I should have known better. When has winter ever conceded so easily in February? Never. It never has, and it never will. That stupid groundhog was full of it. February loves to live up to it's reputation as being a wasteland of cold, wet, and windy conditions. There is only one good thing about February: its length. I mean look, today is the 21st. We're already 75% through the month. And before you know it, we'll be bitching about March and not understanding why it's still cold.
