Dogs Days of... Winter?

Wait? It's snowing? Isn't it still summer? Indian Summer? Please, somebody tell me those white flakes piling up on my deck are not snowflakes. Really, this has to be a joke. It's only... October.

Damn. I hate winter. Ah, and it approacheth with a reckless momentum.

Sticky note to self: Move to California, Arizona, anywhere that snow is a momentus occasion.
