We got a bit of a snowstorm over the weekend. The roads are slick and the temperature is close to zero. About two inches fell, but the snow drifts are deeper.
I remember as a kid how much I loved going out in the snow to play. We'd go sledding and have snowball fights and build snowmen. We attempted to build an igloo one year and it failed miserably. I could say I miss the days when I enjoyed this weather, but it would be a lie.
I don't know what happened between my childhood years and adulthood to make me hate the cold weather and snow as much as I do. I find myself yearning for longer days and warmer nights. I can't wait to go outside and not worry about freezing or dressing in a million layers to keep warm.
Spring will come soon. The grass will be green again. The seasons will go through their changes and in a year from now I'll complain about the same cold and the same snow. It's a never ending cycle, doomed to repeat itself until the end of time.
Today, I'm going to keep it short and sweet and to the point. I'm hungry and I'm stuck working through my lunch. I'd rather be home writing, but unfortunately that won't pay the bills yet. Maybe someday, but not today.
