Monday we got the first real snow of the season. It’s been in the upper 40s to lower 60s all season and it’s been real irritating for someone that actually wants snow. I’m ready to move further north where winter means something. Here in St. Louis winter is mostly just cold and wet. Some times there’s snow, but rarely of any significant quantity.

This season was predicted to be one-half mild and the other half severe. I’m not sure we’ll get the “severe” part. Monday was nice start, but today there was rain and warmer temperatures and it was all gone by the time I got home from work.

I love white winters. The landscape becomes so peaceful, quiet, and still when it’s covered with snow. This time, though… brown. Brown, brown, brown.

Someone call up Bing Crosby and ask him to write a parody of his own song. Ask him to title it: “All I’m Getting is a brown Christmas”
