Snow...

I think I'm tired of the snow... I know, it is winter, and it is New England, and our winter season doesn't really end when the calendar says Spring. I remember one year we had a heck of a storm on April Fools Day. Yup, April 1st... And i think it was over a foot! I remember looking out my bedroom window when I lived in South Attleboro and looking out onto Route 95 and the cars and trucks were just there. Stopped. Not going anywhere. Stranded.

I like the snow. I like to look at it in postcards, and photos, and from far away. I like to see the frozen snow in the morning when it looks like someone spilled an entire container of glitter on the ground. I like to see the tree limbs heavily weighted down leaning into the roadways after a good, heavy storm. I like snow. Actually, I don't even mind driving in it with my 4-wheel drive. OK. So I don't hate it. I think I am just tired of it. Actually, I am tired of living in New England with New Englanders that forget how to drive in a New England snow as soon as the first New England snowflake falls on New England ground... Maybe I am way out of line here, but if you live in New England, you should learn how to drive in snow..... Just my opinion...

Well, hey, when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade, right. So I guess the same is true for snow... When Mother Nature hands you snow, make a snowman.... or an igloo...(always a favorite with my brother and I)...

Enjoy the snow - and stay out of my way if you don't like to drive in it! please......
