Week 6: Why did I miss winter?

I’m one of those people who likes cold much more than heat.  Sadly, I ended up living in the desert.  Needless to say, I’m happiest every year during winter time and not as happy during summer.  I waited all year for winter to finally get here and things just haven’t been to my liking this year!

In a way, I feel a bit odd writing this blog today when so many of my friends are digging themselves out from under a huge amount of snow.  I didn’t get any snow this year, though.  As a matter of fact, my heat barely ever even came on this winter!  Now yes this does sound like I’m whining about something that I shouldn’t be whining about, but I feel cheated out of my winter!

The last several days here it’s been around 70 degrees.  For you Europeans who like Celsius, that’s about 21 degrees Celsius.  I understand that I live in the desert, but it’s still supposed to get at least a little cold here during the winter!  Now it just seems to be getting warmer and warmer each day!  Where’s my damned winter?

Now I’m going to spend most of the rest of the year waiting for winter again!  Before I know it, it’s going to be 118 degrees again! (That would be 47 Celsius.)  I’ll be back to driving around thinking I’m driving an oven!  I hate summer, bleagh! 

Ok, I know this was short, pointless, and whiny, but that’s my why for this week.  Why do I not get the cold while other people who would be happy to be out lying in their yard in 70 degrees are wondering where their yard went under all the snow?

We’ll see what I question next week.  Keep asking why!
