S.A.D.
Seasonal Affective Disorder....
Usually this is a condition that makes people depressed because there's not enough sunlight and it's just DARK AND COLD all the time.
In my household though it's because there is no snow! Steve is more affected by this than me but it's starting to be ridiculous. Every winter storm that comes in our general vicinity is deflected and seems to magically go around us. It's mid-January and the ski trails haven't been groomed once. The snowshoes are in the trunk just waiting for an opportunity to be used but nothing. We were watching some thing about avalanches last night on The Weather Channel (in between In the Womb: Multiples which was FRICKIN' AMAZING, btw) and every time they showed a bunch of snow (which is frequently in a show about avalanches), Steve would let out the most mournful and longing sigh. It was very sad. Or S.A.D. rather.
It's starting to actually make him mad so hopefully we'll get some snow in the near future or maybe we'll find some time next weekend to drive to the South Shore (in WI) where they have snow just to get a fix. (We do currently have a windchill of -15 which doesn't make things any better).
