I hate the weather in Kansas, I really do. Wednesday we were supposed to get snow, so of course I can't help getting all excited about it because we probably get snow maybe once or twice a year, if lucky (yes, lucky). Now I'm hearing that it's going to be in either the forties or fifties (Farenheit) with thunderstorms! In December! Now I know you're all probably wondering why I'm complaining, because no snow means no ice, no bitter cold, no slipping, etc. But, like I said, we probably only get snow maybe once or twice a year. For us, getting snow when we're supposed to get snow is like getting fresh baked cookies.

But when do we usually end up finally getting snow? In April, usually after a week when the temperatures were in the sixties and seventies and the trees were starting to bloom. Then here comes Mother Nature crying out "suckers!" and dumps the biggest snow storm we've ever seen on us.

Plus, dang it, selfish, picky person that I am, I would really like to get snow in December. Preferably before Christmas.

Yeah, I know in some places they don't even get snow. For me, though, it isn't so much about the snow as about how weird the weather is, how up north it's blizzards yet around here you'd think we were heading into spring. Screwy weather also has a way of screwing with you emotionally, and getting one's hopes up about possible snow so close to Christmas doesn't help.

*Shakes fist at sky* Snow, darn you, snow!
