6 Reasons I Could Live Without Snow For Good

Living north for 17 years we got hit with tons of snow over the years. As a kid, I loved it. I loved making snow angels, and sledding. But now I would prefer to never see it again.

Here are six reasons why I dread the snow, and dread winter because of it.

1. The snow is cold

The snow is literally beyond freezing. I personally don't like weather below the 60s, but that is my personal opinion. The snow is way too cold for comfort — like you are going to experience hypothermia when you take a step outside.

Maybe if the snow was not cold, which is literally impossible, I would like it.

2. It is pretty for a second

The first snowfall of the year is usually when I might like it. I don't like blizzards, but I like when the snow is falling little flakes at night time. At some point, the snow is going to turn a dirty mud color and people are going to walk/drive in it. So, the beauty of the snow fades away.

3. You can't drive

If you have two-wheel drive, it is literally impossible to successfully reach your destination in the snow. It will triple your estimated arrival time if it is snowing outside. You slip and slide, and the ice is awful. People underestimate how bad road conditions really are, and they end up into an accident.

I personally, get bad anxiety when I have to drive in the snow. Also, with my job at a nursing home I have to go to work. They don't close because of snow.

4. It takes forever for the snow to fade away

In the winter it seems like it takes forever for the snow to melt. Depending on the amount of snow there is, the snow might stay there for weeks. Rain does not bother me, it pours and it is gone. Snow — you see it for forever.

At this point it is not even pretty anymore, some spots are grass and others are snow.

5. Everything is delayed

When I was a kid, I loved no school and a snow day. But honestly, as I'm ready to graduate I HATE snow days, every day you miss is one day you have to make up in June. Its days being pushed to the very end — days you would rather be on a beach, but you are sitting in class.

6. It means it is not summer yet

Snowy weather means summer is not close and I can't soak up a tan and swim in the ocean. So WINTER, hurry up.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
