I like winter ... but seriously!

To quote Bing Crosby's song SNOW from the motion picture White Christmas:

Snow
It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow
Snow
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow
Snow
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh
Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow
What is Christmas with no snow
No white Christmas with no snow
Snow
I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye
Go to sleep
And dream
Of snow

Most years you will hear me tell people I love winter and I love snow. Winter is my second favorite season. I love the cold air, the snow falling on the ground, wearing my favorite sweatshirt, wearing boots and all the yummy foods that I am inspired to make during the winter. I love watching snow fall. I love playing in the snow. I love winter. Now with that being said. I'm so over winter this year.

Why? Well one reason is it is almost March and I think of warmer weather in March and April.  We got a great tease with the 60 degree weather last weekend. But mostly because of the snow and ice. Unlike when I was a young girl, I don't get to stay home from work when it snows. I don't get a 2 hour delay. I don't work for the county or the govie so off to work I go. My company is based out of Boston, Mass - they laugh at us down here. I can't really telework because come on have you tried to work with a 2 year old who is home from daycare who wants to sit in your lap and bang on your computer and then wants you to play or wants to have a meltdown about the dog eating her cracker.

Also I get so annoyed with my fellow drivers. Don't get me wrong I am all about caution when driving in less than perfect conditions but seriously, if you are that afraid to drive just stay home. You are worse than the speed demons who think just because they have a 4x4 that they can drive like crazy people. How about a happy medium? I'd rather follow that semi down the road than you morons. Oh and the salt trucks. Thank you to the men and women who drive them along with the plows - but seriously can you not try and destroy my windshield. I replaced that last year and don't want to do it again this year.

Winter I'm sorry but I'm breaking up with you. Please allow spring to move in and cause allergies to go bucknutty. I'm through with you say December comes back around. I'll probably have forgiven you by then and welcome you with open arms again. Oh and can you send a note to summer and ask her to leave the 98% humidity in another state this year. Thanks so much.
