I have to admit that despite being known as a “kid at heart” with my friends and family when it comes to winter with its snow, ice and cold temperatures I’ve become
somewhat of a scrooge. I used to love
snow days where I’d spend hours sledding down the neighborhood's boat ramp onto the icy lake by our house or spend the afternoon in battle royal snow ball fights
with all the kids on the block celebrating a day off from school. As an adult though, I’ve found myself with
more of a Bah Humbug attitude when it comes to the winter. I’m not actually sure what led to this
digression of attitude. Was it the bone chilling walks to class in college, the
long commutes to work surrounded by people who are either too scared to or too reckless
to drive safely on icy roads, or maybe the next door neighbor who snow blows
everything in his driveway directly into the road so that the city snowplow piles it
up blocking my garage that changed my attitude? It doesn’t really matter; I had lost my childhood
appreciation of snow days.
