Snow!
Monday - November 05, 2007 01:38 PM in
A lot of grown-ups in Minnesota hate winter. It's cold, dark, messy, and every now and then Mother Nature swoops in and drops frozen water on us, disrupting our carefully-planned schedules.
I'm not one of those grown-ups. I love all the seasons here (fall, winter, spring, and road construction), and I love the neverending variety of the weather. I also like the idea that if you don't like the weather today, it won't be long before you'll get something completely different.
So I was delighted this afternoon to see a passing snow flurry out my office window around lunchtime. It's not heavy enough to stick to the ground at this time of year, so there's no chance of a snow day. Nevertheless, it's a harbinger of white stuff to come, and we've had several disappointingly wimpy winters in a row. It's about time for a seriously snowy season, the kind where you ski to work and dig tunnels from the front door to the mailbox.
The other advantage of a snowy winter, of course, is that it's the Great Equalizer of the Suburbs. It doesn't matter how many weeds are in the yard or how outdated the landscaping when it's all buried under three feet of snow.
