Living north for 17 years we got hit with tons of snow over the years. As a kid, I loved it. I loved making snow angels, and sledding. But now I would prefer to never see it again.
Here are six reasons why I dread the snow, and dread winter because of it.
1. The snow is cold
The snow is literally beyond freezing. I personally don't like weather below the 60s, but that is my personal opinion. The snow is way too cold for comfort — like you are going to experience hypothermia when you take a step outside.
Maybe if the snow was not cold, which is literally impossible, I would like it.
2. It is pretty for a second
The first snowfall of the year is usually when I might like it. I don't like blizzards, but I like when the snow is falling little flakes at night time. At some point, the snow is going to turn a dirty mud color and people are going to walk/drive in it. So, the beauty of the snow fades away.
3. You can't drive
If you have two-wheel drive, it is literally impossible to successfully reach your destination in the snow. It will triple your estimated arrival time if it is snowing outside. You slip and slide, and the ice is awful. People underestimate how bad road conditions really are, and they end up into an accident.
I personally, get bad anxiety when I have to drive in the snow. Also, with my job at a nursing home I have to go to work. They don't close because of snow.
4. It takes forever for the snow to fade away
In the winter it seems like it takes forever for the snow to melt. Depending on the amount of snow there is, the snow might stay there for weeks. Rain does not bother me, it pours and it is gone. Snow — you see it for forever.
At this point it is not even pretty anymore, some spots are grass and others are snow.
5. Everything is delayed
When I was a kid, I loved no school and a snow day. But honestly, as I'm ready to graduate I HATE snow days, every day you miss is one day you have to make up in June. Its days being pushed to the very end — days you would rather be on a beach, but you are sitting in class.
6. It means it is not summer yet
Snowy weather means summer is not close and I can't soak up a tan and swim in the ocean. So WINTER, hurry up.
