The Pros and Cons of Winter

Pros

• Large quantities of snow
• And thus, SNOWBOARDING!
• Christmas!
• Snow angels
• Snowmen
• Snowmobiling
• Getting pulled on a tractor tire behind the snowmobile
• Snowball fights
• Tobogganing
• Hot tubbing outside, getting out to roll around in the snow, and getting back in
• Hot cocoa by a fire
• Hot apple cider
• Getting tackled by a very excited black retriever who, might I mention, LOVES the snow
• Ice skating on the dugout
• Just how beautiful everything is when it is covered in a blanket of frost and snow

Cons

• -40 with windchill. Need I say more?
• Walking between classes when its freezing cold
• Icy roads full of people that have somehow forgotten how to drive
• BEFORE the snowplow comes out, when I have to use my car as the snowplow to get up my driveway
• Getting stuck because my car can't actually make it up my driveway through those snowdrifts
• AFTER the snowplow comes out, when a two-lane street is really only one and a half

I think it is safe to say that I love winter too.
