Snow: The Fluffy Stuff

Ugh. I detest snow.

I'm a Southern boy, born and raised, but I've lived in the Midwest (Southeast Iowa/Mississippi River area) and also spent 5 years living on the coast of Maine and I just deplore the snow and ice. The ice is worse than the snow, actually, but both make getting around difficult and messy. When "The Blizzard of '93" hit New England, I was there. I spent over 2 years making the 35 mile (each way) commute to/from college in Portland, from Brunswick, and it sucked. I had the worst cases of flu I've ever had when I lived in "the icebox" that is Maine. Of course, I was going to school for Respiratory Therapy, so I was being exposed to every kind of disease and infection there is, so it's not a surprise that I was sick as all hell each of the 4 winters I spent there.

I detest snow and ice. In fact, I talked to Mother this morning, who lives in Illinois, and she's snowed in today from last night's snow storm/blizzard. Her doors are all frozen shut and my sister is having to go over there and thaw them out with a hair dryer. Ugh. I hate snow/ice. Poor Mother.
