Oh Winter....where are you?

I must admit...I love snow. I think it is a beautiful thing. In the right time of year of course. That being December-February. By March it needs to be getting toward spring. We changed daylight savings to accommodate it..it needs to be warm. Extra lights should directly correlate to warmer temps. But I digress. Am i the only one who has noticed that every terrible, paralyzing, and HUGE winter storm has totally missed our state in all directions? An even better question, am I the only one actually upset about it?

I mean come on....this is Michigan for goodness sakes! We are supposed to get dumped on during the winter. We have water on three sides to add to the snow machine! SO WHERE IS THE FREAKING SNOW!? I specifically bought a car with 4 wheel drive so I can be one of those prick drivers on the roads that blows by the timid drivers during a snowstorm! So where are my chances to be a tool in a 4 wheel! Yeah it makes your car dirty, you can never wear nice shoes and it makes it impossible to wear a pair of jeans twice in a row without people knowing it...but it's only for 3 months out of the year.

So far, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Okla-freakin-homa, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and now the District of Columbia have all experienced a record snowfall, are on pace for a record year, or have been in the direct path of a paralyzing winter storm. BUT NOT IN MICHIGAN! We have gotten one snowstorm that totalled 5 inches at best. That is just ridiculous to me. In a state where we always complain about how much snow we have, and where our children pray for the storm of the century to cancel school for a week. Here we are in February without even a hope of a snowstorm in the near future.

Now I feel I should clarify, I do not ski, I do not understand how a snowboard works, and I would compare cross country skiing to the boredom that some people feel when they watch golf. All I have is a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with payments that are psychotically high, that has 4 wheel drive that I am not using enough to feel I am getting what I am paying for (and will be fore the next 36 months). That's all I am asking for. Is that so bad?

If only I controlled the universe...children would experience a snow day again, and I could be a tool on the roads and only laugh as I leave people in my dirty salted road dust! Alas, I have to leave that honor to God...he seems to have done pretty well so far...so...I don't see why that won't continue.

Yay snow!! (please come back to us)

That is all.
