Ode to too much snow

Why do the city snow plows dump so much stuff at the end of my driveway?
The beautiful flakes are so innocent. One by one, they gracefully glide to earth, each one unique and wonderful. But enough already! I have had enough of the white stuff and it is only January. I am tired of shoveling. There is no place to put the white stuff at the end of my driveway. January here in Cleveland has produced enough of the white stuff to get into the record books.
My dog loves the white stuff more than I do.
I know that shoveling can burn nearly 400 calories an hour but I am tired of it and there is still two more months to go. I look at ads for sunny places and I can only wish I was there. Winter is winter and the white stuff comes with the territory when you live in the snowbelt. It is days like today that I wonder why I left South Florida. Oh yea, I hate hurricanes but they seem like a warm breeze compared to digging out of yet another artic blast of the white stuff.
I can't wait until Spring to see my beautiful flowers again.
Spring will come someday and I just have to wait until then to see the grass in my yard.
Stay warm.
