It's supposed to snow tomorrow. We all know how I feel about that...The high this Friday is going to be in the 20s...
Snow is the reason I realized I was a grown-up.
Suddenly one snowy morning instead of feeling delighted by the beautiful and delicate flakes that twirled down to earth, I felt a solid cold dread in my stomach. And that's when I knew I was a "grown-up"
To a child snow means:
Snowmen
Sledding
snow angels
Christmas is on its way
School cancellations
snowball fights
To a "grown up" snow means:
higher heating bills
bad driving conditions
frozen pipes
shoveling the drive way
scraping car windows
worry about slipping/frostbite/hypothermia
that general feeling of being trapped....
see what I mean? Last year it was too frickin' cold to even enjoy the nice things about snow. Never before in my life have I seen so many lawns without snowmen, so few foot prints and sled tracks... no, I'm afraid when it's -35 degrees out, not even kids like snow around here....
so it begins....
Here's hoping that this winter will be Shorter, warmer, and drier than last!

Wow! -35 degrees! I remember when it got to -10 here. That was cold! It's no fun when it's so cold that it HURTS to be outside. Good luck!
Holy you brave soul you... come to Texas:D We only get freezing weather every once in a while... and then all the tards come out to crash their cars and stores close early because of the "bad weather"
