SAD

Seasonal affective disorder, also known as winter depression or winter blues, is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter.

I'm feeling sad about the snow that won't stop coming. The hopes of a new month dashed, I must grit my teeth and endure the coats, boots, and cold a little while longer.

  1. I've been thinking about this a lot, too. The one or two days when the sun shines here, I feel so energized. I feel like running, flying. I've heard of seasonal depression in Scandinavia. I think we both may have a touch of it. I'm sorry it's snowing again!
