C'mon, the snow isn't so bad. It means the land is getting some much-needed moisture. The pandemic puppies love it. And all that shovelling is bound to work out some of your deep-seated frustrations. Cursing the white stuff as you sweat over your sidewalk and wonder why you ever considered a corner lot as a "bonus", well, that could be therapeutic.
Even if you're totally snowed in, the APN crew has a bucket full of sparkly new playlists ready for your hibernation. Cozy up and enjoy.
The “subscribe” button on any of the Listen Notes playlists will let you grab a playlist for your podcatcher. Sample the shows below, or check out the full week’s roundup on Spotify.
