Yesterday it snowed for the first time this winter. I only had to take one look at that white crap at the ground to get a feeling of dread deep in my stomach for the next few months. Oh, I hate winter.
Of course the snow didn't stick yesterday. It feel for a little while, almost like rain and melted. But I know what's coming. People have been saying that this is going to be one of the worst winters yet to come.
Snow is so deceitful. When it first falls and collects on the ground. Everything is glittering so pale. It's sparkling and so mezmorizing that you just stare out at the winter wonderland for a little while longer. But then, as people trudge through the snow and cars drive by, it starts to look dirty and dark, almost black.
That's when you start to hate winter. The first few days, it's beautiful but over the next couple weeks you grow to hate it with a burning passion and you dread even leaving your house to run the smallest of errands. That's what the cold does to you.
But I try not to be a pessimist, despite how much I hate the cold. There are some good things that come with winter. There's nothing like coming into a heated home and getting a mug of hot chocolate after being outside when it's below freezing. And Christmas is alright, it's nice to see all of the lights on the houses although I get tired of hearing the Christmas songs. Snow days can also be a little fun but you have to make up the days in school. Two-hour delays are the best. Snow isn't all bad and it does come to an end here after a few months, thank god. It's too bad that those few months feel like a lifetime.
