Zel-kun’s Words

It began as I was driving in to work today, the white flakes beginning to swirl through the bumper to bumper traffic.  No doubt dropping the IQ’s of the surrounding drivers with every flake.  By the time I was at my desk, the snow was so thick that the view out my window was completely white.

Luckily, its a bit too warm (in the low 40’s) for the snow to accumulate.  I happen to love snow, before it hits the ground.  Afterwards, there’s only slippery roads and sidewalks to shovel.  And I make no secret of this, I hate shovelling the damn stuff.  But some of my earliest memories are of playing in snow-filled streets and walking through wintry tundras.  Granted, it was just a large field (through which was a shortcut from my home to school), but take snow and wind and low visability, and it seems like there’s nothing but snow for miles.

And, of course, nothing beats the view of snow falling in downtown Chicago, a place I frequent more in the winter, I would say its one of the reasons I wouldn’t want to move from this area.  The snow is great… now if we could just do something about the bitter cold.  If the temperature never went below 30, that’d be just fine.  Let’s get our experts on that one right now.

Zel-kun out.
