My facebook has been inundated with posts about the upcoming 'blizzard' about to hit our area. I say 'blizzard' because it's only going to be a few inches and last I heard, it's going to stick to the grass and not cause traffic problems. People are up in arms about it and won't stop pissing and moaning.
Here's my question. What did you THINK was going to happen? Umm hellooo. We live in the midwest, where it SNOWS every year, check the almanac if you don't believe me. It's NOVEMBER. Sure winter doesn't officially start until right before Christmas, but do you mid-westerners ever remember a year where it didn't snow until after winter started? Heck I remember over a decade ago, when I was a wee lassie, going out with my snowsuit on over my Halloween costume and trick-or-treating in snow bluffs. You should be thankful that nowadays snow doesn't seem to come until after Halloween.
I've been home sick with a cold for two days now, but tonight I was grateful my cold hit when it did because I can imagine everyone at work talking about it and there's a certain person in my office who always calls it the '4 letter word'. It's annoying. She's all, 'Don't say that 4-letter word!!' I want to be like, "Oh, you mean you're a fucking moron? Wait..that's too many letters..." She's annoying regardless, but she always acts like snow in Minnesota is a rarity that should never happen. Really? Come on.
To be honest, I'm not as thrilled with snow either. All I want is a white holiday season and then I'm over it. I hate driving in it, I hate how dirty it makes everything, so I'm not all, "YAY SNOW!" either but if I really didn't like it, I would migrate south. It's not like it's July or we live in Florida. It's November in Minnesota, do the math or geography, whichever it is.
So the moral of my bitch is you live in the northern United States, it snows here, quit your bitchin'.
