We got some snow here last night and it's still snowing. Frankly, I'm glad to see it though I have to admit getting out while it's still dark and scraping the windshield is not high on my list of fun things to do. Actually today I had to scrape the entire car. The snow started last night as freezing rain which makes for a nice force field of icy stealth to clean off the car the next day. I tend to leave some on the non-glass parts of the car so I look like a 2001 Dodge Igloo driving down the road in the morning. I figure sooner or later the sun will come out and Mother Nature can clear off the rest.
Living in Wisconsin, you'd think we would all be used to this kind of weather. But the weather is complaint Numero Uno around here at all times. People either complains it's too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry. Not a day goes by when someone doesn't mention it. The phrase "Cold enough for ya?" is a common greeting as is "You ask for this snow?" as if someone has to be to blame. I tend to like weather so living here isn't a problem for me. I love that the seasons change so drastically here. It can be 100 degrees in the summer with 98% humidity or it can get to 15 degrees in the winter with a 20 below wind chill factor. There's something about all that change that keeps it interesting. I get a lot of groans from people when I say things like "Isn't the snow great!?" But it is great. It's beautiful. I can't wait until we have enough to go outside and make a big snowman!

I love the changes too - and hate the complaints that come with them. On our side of Lake Ontario it is relatively sheltered so we've had nothing like the snow in areas a mere 1 hour N and W of us and yet still there are complaints at every drop in temperature or drift of snowflake.
We are made of hardier stuff.
