Who knows what is hidden beneath this snowbank. |
Today is that day in the long winter months when you just want to stand on a snowbank and scream enough is enough. Put more mildly, it's surely the doldrums of winter. I can think of no better term for it. In fact I can hardly think of any term at all. My mind is in a freeze frame. Maybe that's what had me tweeting about the temperature in Siberia only this morning. Somehow the thought that it was somewhere around -35C made our piddly -25C feel better. But it's not just the cold, it's the snow, the extra clothes performance, the grinding and grating vehicles. Wait was that the vehicle or someone's joints? I thought once that it is too bad that the laws of nature didn't follow the rule that snow comes and goes with the holiday season.

Enough Snow Already - Christmas is Over |
But no such luck, winter is lacing up it's Sorrels and kicking into high gear. It becomes difficult to visualize my hero sweating under a tropical sun while I'm kicking snow out of my socks. Is this the true test of the imagination? I remember Stephen King's "
The Shining", didn't Jack do his best work while snowed in? Wait, I think that little experiment drove Jack over the edge.
So how do you drive the doldrums of winter away? A good book, friends, a movie?
