My bitch of the day, month, season.......

No snow. Gone. Melted in this too-warm-for-season-weather. Twice we have had over 12" of snow and twice it has melted away. I WANT MY WHITE CHRISTMAS! I live in the U.P., isn't that a requirement for up here? No snow means no sleds, no snowmen, no snowball fights, no need for snowpants. I love snow. In years past, we would have 3-5 feet up here by January and this year, almost nothing. Another thing about no snow up here: this town's economy relies heavily on the snow. When there is no snow, that means no snowmobilers, which means no money is spent here. We all want snow. While I am steadily singing White Christmas in my head and praying for the white stuff to fall, the sun is shining today. I'm beginning to really think about this Global Warming stuff pretty seriously..........

I'm not as big of a fan of the white stuff as you are but this year I can't believe we don't have any yet! I'm good for a couple of snow storms and then I want it to go away. But it at least has to be here for Christmas!

It's been so warm down here that I've stopped wearing a coat again. I can't wear a coat if it's above 45 degrees. No need. :) And Steve and I were able to do three hours of work outside and under the house yesterday with no need to come in and warm up. On December 16th! What's up with that?!?
