"Sprinter"

“Nothing like a white April”
Wow, here we are April 10th middle of Minnesota and yet we are still expecting snow. I can understand maybe a late March down fall of an inch or two, but when you cut into my spring with expected snow forecasts it is going to cause some minor depression. I have lived in Minnesota my whole life, so I am use to snow; I have clothes that prepare me for the conditions and proper footwear to protect my feet. Every year in Minnesota there is a time I like to call “Sprinter,” it is the time of year that everyone sprints around and expects it to be nice out so they pack up their winter clothing, then once all the winter clothing is packed away, there is like a little alarm that tells the weather gods they are unprepared for winter conditions. Then it comes, the sloppy one to two inches here and there just to wreck all your new spring clothing. If you hate it as much as me you are probably in a minor depressed state right now, but no worries, spring has arrived and soon enough the snow shall be permanently gone. Until that moment try to keep thoughts of beaches and snow cones running through your head, well, maybe not snow cones but you know what I mean.

I am hating the snow.

I live on a lake, and the more it snows, the longer it will take the lake to melt and warm up for the summer.

I love winter, and I love that in Minnesota we get so much variety in weather, but enough is enough, and I'm ready for some sunshine and swimming.
