The Northeast has it all wrong

I did not know about sleet y'all. I called it "frozen rain" today and I showed just how Southern I really am. I honestly have never had the displeasure of dealing with sleet until today. I had successfully avoided that shit...until today. You can't even use an umbrella-- it just swirls underneath your layer of protection and stabs you in the face. ______________________________________________________________
Dear Sleet,
Fuck off. You are not welcome here, with your stinging icy pellets of hate.

Yours truly,
Me

Another caveat of my migration to the North is the sorry effect of Daylight Savings time in the winter. Now it gets dark at the ripe old time of 4:30pm. Lemme tell you about nightfall in the middle of the effing afternoon-- total bullshit. Not only is it freezing ass cold(er) when I leave work, but my biological clock tells me that I'm ready for dinner AND I want to go to bed a good hour and a half before I can clock out for the day. I don't even know how to process this.
