"In Search of Old Man Winter"

Note to Old Man Winter: YOUR LATE!


Now most of you might be just really enjoying this weather we have been having. Well if it was not raining every single day you might be. It has felt more like spring than the middle of winter with highs in the 50s and even breaking 60 for the past week.

However, I am in the minority who actually likes cold weather and snow, and so far this winter has been fairly lame in both departments. Our Deep Freeze was merely 72 hours at best of actual cold weather, and despite a few cold nights the days have been hitting highs that are way above the norm.

Now next week it's going to be mostly in the 50's and 60's yet again, so wipe that week off for a shot of snow. The winter is slipping away already and we haven't had to brush more than a dusting of snow off.

Now as most of you know that I mainly trust FOX Philly's Rob Guarinos weather call. For the most part he was dead on in December. Rob seems to think it will be till the 16-18th before we see any cold weather, and there is shot of a storm around then.

Now, some of you would be like why dont you like it being 60 degrees in January? Well nothing is open that is warm weather related anyway. Its not as if I can go sit on the beach or anything. It gets dark early, and was Jason Lee once said the sweet is never as sweet with out the sour. So, really what is the reward in spring if it never got cold to begin with?

Maybe Old Man Winter is locking us snow lovers out this year, or maybe its because my dad bought a kick ass snow blower. All I know it is there is no winter weather and its kind of lame. Just gray skies and rain. How very lame.

I love the warm weather no matter what time of year. I hate driving in snow, and any chance I can take Hunter outside for a swing on the swings or a walk is great. I can't do it all that much in the winter. Badadadada...I'm lovin' it!
