Ugh. I'll take snow for about two weeks starting right before Christmas and melting completely off right after New Year's. Don't like the snow, don't like the cold, don't like the gray skies, dreary weather, leafless trees, bad road conditions, shorter days. Like some others, I'd love to live somewhere where Winter is basically nonexistent, and go back to IL for Christmas for a couple weeks. As it is, I get to go to Florida for a week after Christmas and I'm really looking forward to that.
Winter in Central IL seems to last about half the year. I'll gladly give it to you people in CA.
I guess the grass IS always greener (or the snow whiter) on the other side.
