I have lived in Alberta my whole life, I should be used to it by now. There was a time when I didn't mind it at all. When I was a kid i would flop into the snow and make snow angels. My mom dressed me in 16 layers of clothes so I don't think the cold ever penetrated to my skin.
But now I have grown to like the winters that don't come until December. I don't really love walking in the cold windy streets downtown (they are always windy it seems). I am not loving the long drives in the slow moving traffic. I am not crazy for getting into a cold car and shivering for the first 15 minutes until the heaters really kick in. Yes, I am being a whiney beyotch.
But its ok, i will get used to it as always. There will be some lovely winter days where the snow settles and the sun shines bright, giving the illusion that it is warmer outside than it really is. There is the fireplace, there is hot chocolate and there is cuddling up with the one you love.
So fine damn it...just snow!
I too hate the snow, more so now that I'm resposible for driving around Hailey. I could do with out, especially with that maiden voyage with the shovel done last week ;( I don't need a white Christmas, bring on global warming I could deal with a few more palm trees around here...
