Came down with a fucking cold a few days ago after being outside for a prolonged period of time trying to get my wife's car out of a snowbank. She was sick for over a week before that, and I prided myself on not catching whatever the hell it was. I typically have a pretty strong immune system; but the cold can fucking sap your energy. We spent a lot of time digging her car out, and then pushing/rocking it, and I fell down multiple times, got snow under my gloves and coat. It doesn't help that her parking spot is right on the edge of the lot, so the plowmen pile everything up right in front of it. Bastards.
On that topic, this winter is fucking miserable and ridiculous, at least in New England. Usually there is one major snowfall and then a manageable amount for the rest of the season. Not this year. Mother Nature is being a tempestuous bitch.
