I just cannot understand our weather right now. We are in the middle of February! Where is the snow? Why is it so sunny? Where are those really cold days when you pile on the sweaters, mittens, and hats and count down the seconds until you can get back home, have some coffee, and relax.
Don't get me wrong. I love summer, and fall, and spring is really rainy but just as great. But winter! I love the beautiful snow and crystralized tree branches. Ice hangs off our porch railing like tiny diamonds and I enjoy just staying indoors, keeping warm and watching snow fall. And perhaps, just maybe... having some snow days.
Summer is so hot and sticky and buggy. I really enjoy the winter snow and the refreshing chill of stepping outside in the morning before school to a light snow fall.
The downsides: scraping ice off your car windows, pipes freezing, sprinkling salt, chapped hands, and house heating malfunctions. But positives for me: hot beverages are so much better, covering up with warms blankets at the kitchen table is absolutely acceptable, snow days, reading books in front of windows while watching falling snow is fantastic, and staying at home when it's cold gives you time to watch movies or spend time with family. I think summers at my house tend to separate us more, with everyone going separate ways. But time slows down in the winter. So please, God, send some snow!
