This weather is ridiculous.

There are now places where the piles of snow along the sidewalks are TALLER THAN I AM. I cannot get over this.

When hiking through some of the snow piles to cross the street, I was sinking in up to my mid-thigh. Walking to work is like a funny obstacle course - on one half block it will be shoveled and you can walk easily, on the next half block it will be a slippery mess of partially broken trail through a foot of snow.

I'm just wearing my hiking boots and knee-high waterproof gaiters. I don't care at all how bad it looks anymore.
