As the end of October approaches and the cold months of December and January draw near, I wish (ever so slightly) that I lived farther North.
Snow has been described with countless adjectives because of it's ability to bring smiles and wonder to children and adults alike. Most people love snow because it is the of the holidays. When the most frustrated or adverse men smile at the idea of Christmas Day football. This promise of vacation and an overall lax attitude has given the idea of Snow Days and snow in general a great connotation.
When I think of snow I too get that feeling of excitement that holidays are soon. That I can whip out my fancy clothes because they are so thick or look better layered. That I can walk outside in the sun and not sweat but instead feel the cold gentle breeze of the Miami winter. Sure, we don't have snow, but that has only caused me to see snow as an experience appreciated in its rarity. Eventually, I hope to find the city with its perfect mix of snow days and sunshine, but until then I will enjoy the sunny-chilly mornings of my winter.
