Say It Ain't Snow!
Growing up, I loved snow! So, you might be thinking, what has happened to turn my heart so bitter toward the fluffy white stuff that falls from the heavens??
I hate cold and I hate the cold and wet combination. I am a beach girl down to the very depths of my soul and so I love 70-80 degree warmth and sun shiny days sitting in the sand watching the ocean chase the shoreline. So when the North Carolina temperatures finally plummet to the subzero (okay okay 20's and 30's but it might as well be subzero!) Ariel gets cranky and then when white crap starts fluttering down from the sky it's just like dooms day for me.
Since moving to Wilmington I have had the pleasure of no snow and then yesterday they decided to announce 5" of the stuff. *sigh* This has happened a few times, they say it will definitely snow and it snows up in Raleigh and further north but we get nada and so I firmly disbelieve any weatherman that claims we will get snow. I still don't fully believe it will snow. It was supposed to start snowing this morning at 5am and when I woke up at 6 and looked out the window to see cloudy skies but green grass, I just knew I was right. Then they moved the predicted snow to 12pm, well lunch time came and went with not a sign of snow...and so they canceled school and people stayed home from work for a cold and rainy day. After about 5pm however, it started to sleet and has been doing so ever since. In this situation I think I'd prefer snow but hey, you get what you get.
I will say this about that fluffy white crap, it certainly photographs well. If it does snow I will take great pleasure in the fact that I don't have to go into the office on Wednesdays and can sneak out with my camera and take photos of snow on the beach.
