Minnesota Winter

I know I've mentioned it before, but I love winter. I love snow! I'm not a huge fan of the sub zero temperatures, but you won't hear me whining about them. I might mention, "Brr! It's cold out there!" But you won't hear me say, "Why do I live here?" Every year in January I laugh at the Facebook posts of people who have lived here their whole lives who sound surprised that it got cold out! Do you forget from one winter to another that in January your guaranteed to get some days below zero? When I was in elementary, middle and high school for some weird reason our spring break was in mid-February. I never did understand why, but we'd have a whole week off and our chances of it being below zero all week was pretty good. That didn't stop us from running around outside and going sledding! The funny part of me loving winter, I hate wearing a jacket! For those trips that I'm going to the house, to the car, to the store and back to the car I'm in a sweatshirt and no jacket. I've always been this way, but it's seemed to become more frequent after I broke my leg. After spending a winter of not wearing a jacket because it was easier to maneuver with the crutches without the added bulk of a jacket. So if you see me running around without my jacket, don't worry it's in the backseat. Just in case something goes wrong with the car!
