mid­dle of Jan­u­ary and it hasn’t snowed – at least since I’ve been here – since Decem­ber 12th or there­abouts. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!? I came to a school in the Mid­west for one of sev­eral rea­sons. One of those rea­sons was because it’s sup­posed to actu­ally snow dur­ing the win­ter. I didn’t come here to be cold with­out snow falling. While try­ing to pro­cras­ti­nate on this post, I just checked the weather and Weath­er­Bug reports “flur­ries.” Flur­ries are like the snow equiv­a­lent to driz­zle. Well, all I know is that I’m going to be flur­ried if it doesn’t snow here soon.

My fel­low Cal­i­for­ni­ans might be curi­ous as to why I want it to snow so badly. I stated the rea­son for that above in brief, but I’ll expand upon it here in more detail. Liv­ing in Cal­i­for­nia has given me weather tun­nel vision, if one could call it that, which blinded me from the knowl­edge of what it’s like to live in freez­ing cold tem­per­a­tures and snow. Well, no longer. Since being at school here for over four months, I have devel­oped a pretty good idea of what it feels like to live in sub-​​freezing tem­per­a­tures, snow, and ice. For the most part it would suck 100% if you live here or More >
