November - We act surprised when we have our first snow forecast. OMG! I'm just not ready for this! It's supposed to SNOW tomorrow you guys.....it does every year in November.
December - These
flurries are so cute! I'm gonna build a snowman! I'm SO glad we live in a place
where we can have a white Christmas. Nothing better than cozy-ing up to the
fireplace under a blanket on a snowday. Awww, let's take some family pics
outside, where the snow is sticking to the trees all cute-like! I'm gonna take
a close up artsy picture of this snowflake and post it to instagram.
January - Back to
back snowstorms happen. School is cancelled/delayed about once a week. But we still have
to drive places because life. My car gets stuck driving up a hill. Only because
the person driving in front of me did first. Thanks
a lot. Now I have to reverse down this steep hill and find a different route.
Except that other route won't work either. God, it sucks where we live. WHY DO
WE LIVE HERE. But also a false sense of optimism washes over me… Like, this is
probably getting close to the "end" of winter. Let's just suck it up
a little longer. Summer is right around the corner
February - The
January shenanigans continue. Back to back snowstorms. Negative temps. Extremely cold wind chills. The city plows are not
responsive. Shoveling our cars out of parking spots are the new winter workout.
If you're into a back-only workout, that is. I start to fill with rage. I
cannot drive anywhere, I cannot walk anywhere, I cannot see anything. White is
just the color of our lives at this point. It's too cold for kids to play
outside, but driving them across town to spend time at the museum is also
risking my life. WHY THE $*%& DO WE LIVE HERE.
March - Literal
depression sets in. Isn't March 22nd officially "spring"? Why are we
still getting snowstorms? Oh, how LUCKY, it's averaging 32 degrees this week.
It's so LOVELY when all this snow starts to half-melt and mix with mud. And
then freeze again into solid ice at night. I just love how my child's snowpants
get covered in a slushy mud everyday while playing outside at school.
April - Okay. This
might be it. Like we still have snow, but it seems like we aren't getting *too*
much more. There's a few days where I don't need to wear a winter coat. Like an
actual SPRING jacket can be worn. It's still a sloppy mess, though.
May - It's not
warm-warm, but it's okay. Like we still have our heat on, but I can at least stand on the front steps and shake a rug without
getting frostbite. There's still random piles of snow, if they're big enough
they take a while to melt. But for the most part this is spring. It's finally
over. Finally.
Oh wait, it's
snowing…
