It's really hard for me to not complain about the snow. I think I liked it when I was younger, but now I dread it; it just makes a big mess. I'm not in the position in my life to move to another state without snow, but I hope to be in that position before I die haha.
I feel terrible because all I do is complain about the snow and winter, so I'm going to try and write some nice things about winter in general (feel free to throw these in my face the next time I start to complain):
- Shoveling is a decent workout (definitely not the best, but it helps)
- I can hydrate as I'm shoveling by eating the snow (I usually come in and drink water, though)
- I'm going to be so buff or really skinny by the time I'm done shoveling all the snow we keep getting (maybe I'll be skinny-buff)
- Snow looks less ugly on the trees in the woods in my backyard (I've never thought snow was pretty)
- It's not hot outside (I hate being really hot and really cold...haha)
- It's cuddle weather (not that I have anyone to cuddle with right now, but that's not important)
- It's not as dark during the night (I'm petrified of the dark)
- I get to work on my balance whenever I walk outside (It hasn't helped - I still have terrible balance)
You read that list quickly, but know that it took me about 30-45 minutes to come up with those. I know it's all sarcastic and funny, but there is some truth in all of them. While I'm still no fan, seeing this little list of things is making me try to put a smile on my face when I think about what's happening outside these walls that surround me.
Anyway, Snowmageddon 2015 hit us last night, so here are some less ugly pictures that I took:
How do you feel about winter and snow? Feel free to comment and give me some more reasons to not hate it ;)
XOXO
