Snow

Never a winter person or a summer one either. Give me spring and fall. Here is the breakdown.

In the summer it becomes so hot that you can't stand to be far away from air-conditioning. You wear as few clothes as necessary. You have to water your lawn, mow and get all kinds of bug bites. You can freely leave your home, your laundry is cut in half because you don't wear jeans, a T-shirt, a sweat shirt or socks and heating costs are eliminated. Precipitation is welcomed because your yard is filled with beautiful flowers. There is not much on television and you don't play on the computer as often.

In the winter, especially this one of '10 you are cold, your pets don't like it and neither does your car. It snows or ices and you pray you don't lose power. For working parents, your routine is disrupted because school is closed or delayed. Your nose runs and for those of us who have seen a half century of winters, your joints ache. You understand why bears hibernate. But you have the Super Bowl, basketball, all the major awards shows.

Think summer just won out!
