He said...She said...who needs snow?

I had an interesting idea for a blog today. Since sometimes Scott will blog and sometimes I blog, I thought what if we both blogged about the same thing? Well here it is...the premiere of He said...She said...the topic for today? The weather! We are after all Canadian and since that seems to be the news of the day - why shouldn't we talk about it too?

This has been one of our mildest winters anyone can recall. When normal temps should be freezing, there should be at least reminants of some snow storm on the ground, and snow on the ski hills - there is none to be found. We were all dreaming of a white Christmas - which even I can admit does have a nice feeling, but it never came. Well, since there was no snow for Christmas, it can just stay away for the rest of the winter as far as I am concerned. I know that some industries (skiing & ice wine) depend on the cold weather. And that while they are blaming El Nino for this "heat wave", it is probably really part of the greenhouse effect causing all this. Ignoring that, I can do without winter! I hate driving in the snow and since I have to drive to work everyday I enjoy the stress free days. I like knowing that when I get up in the morning I don't have to shovel my way out of the driveway or clear off my car. I don't have to worry about all the morons on the road that don't know enough to slow down when it snows. And I don't have to put on my boots, hat or gloves. I know that eventually it will snow and the freezing temps will come and I will have to deal with it. But in my opinion this winter so far has been a winner in my books!

I WANT SNOW!!!! For as long as I can remember, winter has been my favourite season. I'm not really sure why because I don't ski, downhill or otherwise, nor can I ice skate very well. I just love the snow. To me, snow justifies the cold weather. If it is cold out with no snow, that sucks! If there is snow on the ground and it's cold, then for some reason that's alright. Like most people, I wanted snow for Christmas, but it never came. Now January has come and it is really warm so far, but I hold fast to the belief that snow will come, and I can't wait. Like Steph, I worry about the morons that seem to find their way behind the wheel of a car and forget how to drive when the first and subsequent snowfalls hit, but I LOVE driving in the snow. Bundling up for warmth, shovelling the driveway, or tobogganing, then coming inside for a hot chocolate to warm up, what Canadian doesn't love that?!?! Winter so far has been a big loser in my books, but there is still time to turn it around, you just gotta believe!
