Snow

I've realized something kind of sad today.  Unless you are a child or you classes are canceled because of it, snow is usually nothing more than a pain in the ass.  Sure it looks pretty, and who doesn't get a hankering to make the occasional snow angel, but when you have to go places, snow is the pits.  The only time driving in the snow is fun is when you are in a parking lot with no one else and can do donuts and what not.  Actually, for the Jeep, that is the only possible time to do donuts otherwise there is a rather high probability of tipping.  And walking in the snow is just as bad.  Walking through what seems to be a dirt slirpee is never enjoyable, especially when it splashes up onto your pants.  I hate wet pants almost as much as I hate being sticky.  Also, there isn't nearly as much snow as there used to be.  When people get excited when there is like 3 inches of snow on the ground it's pretty sad.  

I remember the days where a new foot of snow was dropped everyday.  Nothing made me feel as good as yelling, "They stopped making hot lunches"(the obvious sign that it was going to be a half day at school.)  Snow levels were so high it was as if you were walking in between giant white walls after you shoveled it (walls of glorious snow that is).  And sledding, faget about it.  There were no worries at all because the snow was so high you couldn't possibly get hurt.  The only thing that could hurt you was AJ throwing large branches at your back.  Otherwise, there wasn't a care in the world.

The truth of the matter is, unless you are in BLC or at the top of a mountain, snow just isn't the same, and that's a shame.  I long for the carefree days of being a child where transportation was never an issue.  But these days, snow is nothing more than a nuisance.
