Snow Haters...


Snow Haters...

A friend of mine posted something on a certain social network about his/her hatred of snow, and not only snow, but all things cold. The post elicited several comments, many in support of his/her view and many promoting the opposite—that there is much that can not only be appreciated, but enjoyed in the season of diminished temperatures.

I thought about writing a response myself that included all the wonderful things that can—and should be acknowledged about the season. I decided against this because many of his/her friends did a wonderful job with expressing their opinions and they covered the subject quite well. One friend even described the living hell that is living in Arizona and how a few months of snow would be a God-send to those souls who to live in such a place, a place my friend would welcome.

And so I think those who hate the cold and snow should ask themselves if they ought to move. They should consider leaving the snow area where they live and relocate to a non-snow locale void of that cursed white stuff and where temperatures never drop below 50ยบ Fahrenheit. For there they will find happiness. Of course, many won’t find happiness there, no more than they find it here. People are funny that way…

It’s too bad they hate a season—they hate a gift from God. They dismiss a chance to appreciate one of the truly beautiful times of the year. We are told are trials are given to us for our benefit. I guess my trial is dealing with all the unhappy people who hate the snow. ;)
