It's raining snowballs

We are getting the first real snowstorm of the season tonight. We had
a little snow this morning when I woke up, but I still went for a
short and sort of slow run - wearing the equivalent of tire chains on
my sneakers. Then, on the commute home, it was raining giant
snowballs. What was I thinking with this Chicago move? So then I did
some home snow removal and my jacket got wet all the way through. In
about 15 minutes. Why does anyone live here? I don't have any idea.
There is nothing within a four hour drive, there were only three days
this summer over 90 degrees, the lake never warmed up, and nobody here
can drive. Oh, yeah, and it's going to be 9 degrees on Thursday
morning. Sign me up!
