Trapped Under Ice (& Snow) (& Bitter Cold)

While most of the country is gripped in bitter cold tonight and tomorrow (those of us near Chicago were blessed with another 8-10 inches of snow just before it turned cold too!), I figured it might be a good time to revisit a mix I made to help me wallow in the long winter of 2011, three years ago. Here, you can wallow too!

It starts out trying to get you pumped up about winter but, inevitably, your thoughts turn cold and mopey. Then it all ends with Rush, because, well, its Rush.
