There’s perhaps no greater feeling than the crisp cool air against my face when I walk outside in the morning on my way to class. I’m reminded of wintery afternoons in Alaska, when sunlight and shade seem to be the same temperature due to the wind chill. Sunglasses aren’t a thing of the summer, but instead a necessity because of the snow glare.
I wish it would snow here… that would make my winter.
Around here I often hear complaints about the cold weather from beach hungry Floridians who only desire to lay around and bake in a nice bikini. I wish everyone would embrace this season. Enjoy the layers, enjoy the hats, the scarves, the gloves, the blankets and the fires. Snuggle up with a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful stars at night.
Chaped lips and a red nose like Rudolph are a small price to pay for such a beautiful sight as frost on my front lawn. I think in a few months it will be time to take a road trip up north somewhere to enjoy taking a snowball to the face.
