The Warmest Winter!

     I absolutely love that this has been a very warm winter. Winter is not something that I look forward too after a beautiful summer and fall. There is nothing more frustrating than snow; having to shovel and dig out your cars when you have to go to work and get errands done. The only way that I would ever accept snow is if it gave me a snow day and I had an excuse not to do anything! Other than that, snow is probably my least favorite thing about living in New York. 

     I was not always like this. I used to love the snow and I could not wait for it to come each winter...until I went to college at SUNY Albany. We arrive in August when classes start, so the whether is still nice. However, as soon as October hits, the snow begins and does not stop until May. It snowed every single day for three months, and if it is not snowing, it is raining. It became so dark and gloomy that I could not wait to graduate by the time my senior year hit. Now that I am home on Long Island, I was expecting snow but I am so happy that it decided not to come this winter. I needed this break from the freezing cold winters and enjoy the winter for the first time. Hopefully though, because of these odd changes in temperature this winter, the summer will be hot as always the snow doesn't decide to come then!
