Winter Weather in the Fall
Sunday, 9. December 2007, 01:24:41
If I see one more damn ice crystal fall from the sky I'm going to snatch it up and scream "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" then bite it in half. Fall is the glorious time of year when we piss off summer and welcome the mild temperatures of the transitional season. The leaves on all the deciduous trees are turning hues of yellow, red and orange. All of summer's pests such as flies, mosquitoes and spiders are taking a long break until spring. The skies are a pretty gray and it is now safe to dress in light layers and sweaters.
So why the fuck is it always cut short by freezing temperatures and this snow/ice bullshit?! Wait your damn turn winter. It's way too early in the year for you to snow on my parade. Autumn only had a short time to figuratively shine. I'm already having to deal with scraping an inch of clear death off my windshield and sliding a la ice capade when I need to turn my vehicle.
Snow was fun when I was a child. School cancellations gallore and all the rad shit you could do with snow! Gather all the neighborhood kids together for a snowball fight. Make little, white, fluffy forts to shield you from attack and the snowmen--OH the snowmen. It got really old when I grew older. I had to start driving in it. School cancellations were a pain in the ass because the winter season falls on the same time as term finals, large projects, and ridiculous work that required a lot of in-class instruction. I'm currently out of school, so that's not an issue, but at the time--by golly--it was extremely fucking lame.
Now I'm going to have to deal with lip-chapping cold (and don't forget about that fucking wind chill), ungodly ice, and the wet snow ruining my shoes and giving me trenchfoot until March.
I'm pissed.
