Totally agree.  Hate winter with or without snow.

Yes, I know.  I am so thrilled.
A couple of inches expected overnight, and then the temps rise and PLUMMET to 14 to 17F by Sunday morning.  I am cold just thinking about it.

We got some light snow earlier this evening. It ended a bit ago. I can see a thin layer outside but what’s going to be worse is the bone chilling cold tomorrow...black ice.

Snowing at 2 inches an hour here in Cleveland now. ;D Just plowed out the driveway and sidewalk from the 20 inches we got a few weeks ago, another 12 today. We went shopping, a great day, nobody out, roads are packed snow but plowed. We got home and it got worse and they just announced a level 3 snow alert, Highway Patrol says everybody off the roads unless it's an emergency, they will stop you and ask. A great day, and, I'm not working.

12 total inches on top of about a half inch of rain that froze into about .10 inch of ice on top of about 20 inches of old snow before it started to snow. Some still digging out, 25 foot mounds of plowed snow in the lots at the mall and about 4 foot snow walls along the roads. I haven't seen this since the 70's. ;D Wish my body would let me go sledding.

Me neither.  Had to remove defective blinds in the kitchen window and replace with new (and shorten), and it totally wiped me out.  Scary.

While I was at the Depot of the Home buying the blinds, I asked about snow shovels.  The employee laughed (of course there are none to be had anywhere).

My buddy was in a quandry, his snowblower stopped 2 days before the storm and he was trying to find one for sale anywhere......I laughed and told him he was like the people they show on the news, before a hurricane, trying to buy plywood. He said he was going back to the old reliable method of shoveling, it took him 2 days  but the shovel started up and ran fine the whole time.

In a few weeks, "Rasputitsa" will be upon northern Ohio, frost heaves, potholes, mud, slush, and generally bad roads. And of course the occasional late winter snowstorm and we start all over again.  ;D It makes you tough.

I learned a new word here! Thank you.

We don't have Rasputistas here per say, but the potholes sure seem like we do. Worse than ever. I need to check my motor mounts next time. There are a lot of pot holes here and I have gone over a few last week. Can't believe how much we pay in taxes and still have these crappy roads.
