Living in a state that has all four seasons means we ride a roller coaster of emotions when winter comes around.

10. Why is it so cold?

Does anyone else think this? The second it gets cold I start wondering why the seasons have to change at all.

9. If it is this cold, there better be snow. And no school.

If we are going to put up with the painfully cold air, we better get something out of it.

8. Time for the marshmallow jacket.

Jackets that make you look like the Michelin man? Check.

7. Cute scarf and hot coffee weather!

Mmmmm hot coffee and a warm, soft scarf.

6. There is a snowflake on the ground somewhere. Better forget how to drive to fit in with other drivers!

Why is it that when it snows people lose all common sense?

5. I have to get outside earlier to warm up the car?

There is nothing better than being late to class or work because you have to wait the extra five minutes for your car to warm up so you don't die of hypothermia on the way.

4. When I breathe it looks like I've been vaping!

When internal air becomes visible all our worst fears are realized!

3. Snowball fight? Sledding? Snowman? Reenacting a Disney movie?

Who doesn't want to be an ice queen?

2. Pretty snow photo shoot?

Nothing looks prettier than blue lips, purple fingers, and a blotchy red face in front of a solid white background.

1. Layers are finally acceptable again!!!!

Hooray for long underwear, pants, snow pants, tank tops, sweaters, and jackets! The lifeblood of every winter.

Yay for winter, but let's hope it's over soon!
