The Ugly Part of Winter

As you know, I am done with winter! Seriously! It's been such a long winter this year with so much snow... and ICE! I'm very ready for spring!

This week, we finally had some warm weather... it even was in the 60's the past couple of days. So this week has been the big meltdown! All the piles of snow (and ICE!) have slowly been getting smaller with small rivers flowing down the roads... which is great! But what I don't like is the overall process!

When the snow melts, everything looks so dirty and grimy!! All the dirt that was mixed in the snow slowly condenses as the snow melts, and ends up in piles where ever the snow was! And as the snow melts, the piles themselves look like piles of dirt instead of snow!

Top that off with dreary skies and it's no wonder people get depressed. It's one thing when everything's white and/or it's sunny. But when it just looks so nasty out... yuck!

So I'm ready for the piles to be gone for good. Then a nice rain can come through and wash the dirt way. And finally, everything can green up again. Yeah... I'm ready to keep the temperatures well above freezing.

Please, Mother Nature... work with me here!
