I'm going to have to give you a few lashes with a wet noodle for the name of your thread. That's two depressing ones in a row. I don't want these to become self-fulfilling prophesies for you.
I'm kinda into Feng Shui and there is a large part of it that talks about how after you put a positive change into effect, you need to believe it is going to work and visualize it happening. Even if you're not into Feng Shui it can't hurt to start believing that good things will happen instead of always expecting the worst. Here I am again giving advise that I too need to take.
Hope you're enjoying your snow. I think ours is starting to melt a bit.
