I feel for The Spinster, because I don't like blustery frozen messes anymore than she does; but I saw something today that put it into perspective:

This is a USGS map showing the earthquakes in Indonesia over the last seven days; 19 in total (list with details). The larger the square, the bigger the quake. Each one you see is 5+ on the Richter Scale. The darker the square, the most recent. All of these are within the last week, the orange is today, the red is within the hour.

As bad as winter is, at least we know it's only temporary. But what the hell are you supposed to do when the spit of sand you call home threatens more than once a day to fall into the sea?
