Winter 2014: I Am NOT Ready

The snow makes me sad. I love absolutely Christmas, as I have said in a previous post in September, but I hate the cold weather. I would much rather have Christmas in Florida. That being said I like a small amount of snow on Christmas morning, but that is the only exception.

Reasons why I hate winter:

1.) I hate driving in the snow, ice, freezing rain, etc. People drive slower, I have to drive slower, and there are more accidents that slow down traffic.

2.) I hate scraping snow. I am filled with dread when I wake up and see my frost covered car. I know that I can go out and start my car earlier, which would fix the problem, but I often forget to do this and it eats my gas.

3.) I am a very cold person; not in spirit, in body temperature. I am not sure if I just have poor circulation or what the problem is but my feet are perpetually cold; with or without socks. It also makes my nose runny and red, which makes me have to carry tissues. By the time March rolls around all I want is to feel the sun on my skin again.

I know in my short list I may sound like a Grinch, but winter and I just aren't friends. Power to those of you who embrace the cold; you have thicker skin than mine.

This forecast is not what my dreams are made of.
