a little? sigh... a lot actually... i'm so tired of wearing 5 million layers
of clothes and boots when it's so close to april. if the snow doesnt melt
before my birthday, i don't know what i'll do... [insert sound of a ticking
timebomb here]"

I came across 2 very short poems which might help:

winter is as ugly 
as an arm hair
  --Jeremy Hartman
[I don't know what that means either]   


The bitter winter storm 
will always produce a delirious spring 
symphony 
so think about a fall 
in love next summer
  --Bennett J. Berson
