If you're not accustomed to winter weather - snow, ice, below freezing temperatures, and wind chills that'll make you think what the hell are you doing outside - just stay inside.
Don't pass go.
Stay warm, bundle up, and think to yourself about how next year will be better (because it just can't be that bad two years in a row right?).
And yes.
I'll ask that same question too:
WTF?
How did this thing miss my state???!!!!!
I don't care - I'm just glad it did.
