Dear Kentucky Winter,

I was really disappointed with Kentucky Autumn this year. I didn't get to see the leaves turn bright red and brown and yellow this year. I didn't get to feel a smooth transition from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures. I didn't get to slowly stockpile on my favorite sweaters and fuzzy socks or anything of the nature.

No - I got to experience seventy degrees all the way up to November. I got to keep wearing my summer clothing because it was far too warm for my autumn and winter clothing. I got to see all of the leaves fall off of all of the trees in a week's time. We had a cold snap from the summer-like weather to nearly winter-like weather.

Kentucky didn't get to experience autumn.

Kentucky Winter, I'm begging you to give us something more than you gave us last year! I'm begging for a cold snap that lasts for three months. I'm begging for snow. I'm begging for overcast skies. I'm begging you to let me where my fuzzy socks and winter boots whenever I go out.

Please snow on Christmas.

Please give me a foot of snow.

Please let snow days happen.

Let putting up my tree be something I enjoy.

Because I don't know about anyone else, but I was severely disappointed in the lack of charisma from Kentucky Autumn. Kentucky Summer was far too enthusiastic for my taste, and I miss Kentucky Spring like no other. I want to look outside and scream,"IT'S SNOWING!" like a little kid again.

I'm an adult, now, and I don't have too many luxuries in life. Seeing large snowflakes fall to the ground and actually stick to the ground would bring so much joy into my life.

So, Kentucky Winter, I'm asking you to come visit us and stay a while.

Sincerely,

Someone who is dreaming of a white Christmas
