I've seen it all when it comes to winter, from no snow to every single thing being covered in snow. It's a struggle, but it's kind of cool to see what happens year to year because it's always different. So with the recent snowfall this past weekend, here's a list of things you'll understand if you've ever gone through a winter in the good old town of Erie, Pennsylvania.
1. Flashback to winter of 2015: "Hey Merry Christmas everyone let's all wear shorts and go outside because it's like 70 degrees and there's no snow I love grass sledding."
2. "How am I supposed to lift this Christmas tree which is twice the size of me when I'm literally a marshmallow who can't feel their hands?"
3. "Okay I have a cute sweater I just need to wear three layers underneath it, plus two coats. I should be fine; I may just get minor frostbite."
4. "I love having to heave my leg out of a snow pile every time I step."
5. "No Mom I can't go get the mail; the snow is piled halfway up the door."
6. "Hey at least now I'm not obligated to go outside because I quite literally can't so now I can stay inside and stay warm and eat."
7. "OH MY GOSH IT'S SNOWING IT'S SO PRETTY, OH MY - wait what do you mean it's only October?"
8. "Christmas without snow is like hot chocolate without marshmallows."
9. "Hey remember when we were colder than the South Pole at one point? Yeah those were the days."
10. "CHRISTMAS MOVIES ARE HERE! CHRISTMAS MOVIES ARE HERE! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!"
11. "I can't get my hair cut short or wear it up, because then I'll risk getting frostbite on my neck even though that doesn't sound possible."
12. "Why did I think a sweatshirt was a sufficient coat I'm literally going to become a human icicle."
13. "ARE YOU SURE THERE'S A TWO HOUR DELAY DON'T MESS WITH MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT."
14. "OH MY GOODNESS THERE REALLY IS A TWO HOUR DELAY I GET TO SLEEP."
15. "I LOVE HAVING SNOW DAYS EXcept we have to make it up when the weather is- wow I actually hate this."
16. "I SLIPPED AGAIN OH MY GOSH THAT'S COLDDDDD."
17. "I hate the snow why is there so much of it now I have to shovel."
18. "OH MY GOSH THE SNOW IS MELTING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR 50 YEARS."
19. "Wait it's February and there's no snow this feels so weird."
20. "Can the snow come back?"
21. "Wait I didn't mean it."
22. "But it is really pretty outside."
