We Got Snow Spoiled

[ozma914]

Okay, so, we survived the Snowstorm of '22.

That just isn't as catchy as the Blizzard of '78, but it never quite got to blizzard status--it was just a regular snowstorm. At least, it was compared to weather in the old days. You know the story: We walked to school five miles every day, uphill both ways, dodging polar bears and wading through ten foot

Brrrrr! Stay warm!

I do my best! It actually got above freezing yesterday ... just long enough to melt some of the snow, then refreeze it.

Ahhh - winters aren't what they were in our day... I remember the winter of '63 when my grandfather took us in the car to see where the snow was still piled at the side of the road higher than the car, in May.

I never had frost-bite but I used to get chilblains every winter - and I absolutely don't miss them at all.

But sitting in the house, looking out at snow is good; sadly we haven't had any at all this winter to let me sit and look and be glad about.

I wouldn't mind snow so much if I could look at it through the window and never have to go out. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way for me, so I'll go right on wishing early fall turned right into late spring again!
