Journal #26: Snow

I do not enjoy snow that much. I do not like the extreme cold either. I am alright if it is cold, but when it gets really cold, I do not enjoy the weather. I like sweatshirt weather or possibly weather in which all i have to do is wear a light jacket. I think thats pretty much the best weather. I would rather be cold then extremely hot and sweaty.
I also do not like the snow when it comes to transportation. You go outside, its extremely cold and it just snowed, and what do you have to look forward to? Your car is covered in snow, the ground around your car is surrounded by snow. First you try to get into your car. Usually it does not work the first time. You have to jiggle the handle back and forth until it pops the door open, and then there is a layer of ice in between the door so you have to pry it open. After you pry open the door, you get to step into a ridiculously cold car. I cannot turn my car on past the aux mode because my parking brake only works sometimes; therefore, I have to keep it in second. If I try to turn the car on with the heat, it will just roll away. So I have to deal with the unbearable cold. After brushing off your car, you get the idea that maybe, just maybe you can drive away without getting stuck. You thought wrong. You have to go into the garage, grab the shovel and continue to shovel away more snow. Once you are out on the road and everything is warmed up, you begin to slide around. So many accidents have occurred due to the snow. I do not like the snow because of these reasons.
But there are some positives I guess. I do quite enjoy sledding. Although I never get a chance to sled anymore, when I do, the cold is completely worth it. I also enjoy what the snow looks like. So I do find some positives in the snow. But by around February or March, it gets pretty old, just like summer.

  1. I agree with your opinion. I dislike the extreme temperatures and wish it would stay at an average temperature.

  2. In my own opinion I think the fun parts of snow outweigh the negative but you made several good points.

  3. I agree with you as well. I you read my blog, you will find that I talked about creating a snow that can sustain its snowiness even in the extreme high temperatures that can be found all around the world like in South America. Also Mexico and California have high temperatures because of their close proximity to the equator of the planet. I'm no meteorologist, but this has something to do with the Earth's core or something like that.

  4. Nice blog. I don't completely agree with you, as I am completely in love with snow. I do agree about the rather cold than hot argument and the whole scraping ice off your windshield and getting stuck and not opening your door. However, I still love my snow. Nice job~!
