A Stormy, Snowy Atlantic Winter

The Farmer's Almanac predicted that we would have a bitter winter filled with snow. It seems like every other day there's another storm approaching. Shoveling your car out before a surf has been the norm as of late.

The Farmer’s Almanac predicted that we would have a bitter winter filled with snow. It seems like every other day there’s another storm approaching. Shoveling your car out before a surf has been the norm as of late. I’m fine with turning the heat up and enjoying an endless winter just as long as the Atlantic keeps delivering.
