I live in North Dakota, which in February or at least today is very similar to an arctic tundra. Cold, dreary and low population. I do like living here for the people, but to be honest, I don’t like the cold temperatures and the snow. Growing up in Minnesota, one would think that I would be used to it. Just put on some warm gear and deal with it. I have been doing that for the past 30 some years. I think I am finally sick of it, and can’t wait until I move some where warmer. But then what will my major gripe be, bugs, or semi-cold weather or earth quakes or what? Regardless, I think all of those things can’t compare with sub-zero temperatures, blowing snow and icy roads. This morning I had to get up at 6:30 a.m. and spend an hour using my snow blower to blow away only about an 1″ worth of snow that collected in drifts. Of course, my snow blower was not cooperating, one of the chains on it fell off and the tires were just spinning on one side. I only have a small narrow pathway to get to my garage now. I can’t wait until this snow melts. I much rather be mowing the grass. I suppose that would be my major gripe about living somewhere else, I would have probably mow the lawn all year round. I don’t have to do that now, but I do have to snow blow and shovel. At least with grass, if it gets too tall, your neighbors just might not like you. With snow, you can’t get out of your driveway unless you try to move it somewhere else in your yard. I am sure if anyone reads this they will just think I’m a wimp. Fine, call me a wimp, but I’m just expressing my feelings.
