The Many Moods Of Snow

Y'know, that old adage about how The Eskimoes Have Like TEN THOUSAND Words For Snow, Man, is as distorted as most of those old adages, but it is true that there are different kinds of snow.

Today we got the rare fuzzy snow.

I mean it. It actually looks like goose down coming out of the sky. My car looked like a tribble with tires till I brushed it off.

I just don't get how people can live in places without four seasons. The seasons are just so INTERESTING!

I admit, I do miss it sometimes. Mostly the foliage turning in fall. Here, the leaves either stay green, or just die.

Yeah, that's how I was when I went to Oregon. Eugene had the leaves turn, but it was kind of unimpressive, and my pal Josh, who hailed from Denver, and I tended to spend a lot of time in the winter sitting around bitching about how you just don't get PROPER snow here in the Pacific Northwest.

Don't even ASK about Kenya. There we got to experience two seasons: Really Goddamn Hot and Even Hotter Than That.

I don't mind not getting proper snow, because it also means we get to miss out on the meltingly hot summers that most places with proper snow have to deal with.

I need to find somewhere that's just cold, even in the Summer.
