Snow and ICE

I am not a winter person.   Never have been - never will be.    I'm stubborn like that.  I love the midwest - but I do not like a midwest winter.    I do not like to be cold, I do not like snow, I do not like ICE  - and that includes ICE Syndrome!   ;)     This past week, winter decided to dump nearly 2 feet of snow in two major snowstorms in my neighborhood.    How not-so-nice. 

I so want to live the moment - live the day - but a snowy winter day is one that is best enjoyed indoors.  I ask my son - on his fourth snow day of the week - to build me a snowman outside my kitchen window - one that I can look down on and smile upon in the upcoming days .    And so he does.   I venture out on the cold snowy deck, snap a picture.  Adorable.  My way of living the moment in winter!  

 The snow ends.   Two feet of snow - with just a little in-between melting and lots of snow plowing - results in tall mountains of snow on street corners and narrow streets.   Street corners of tall snow mountains and narrow streets aren't the best driving conditions for someone with a very cloudy ICE eye.    But I take it extra cautious -  I get my critical errands done and get my son to his next activity safely.    But after all of this, I do declare it is time for some warmer weather, sunny skies and sunglasses.   I'm ready for Spring!
