I am trying to remember why I moved south. Oh yes, now I know... the weather in New England was getting the best of me. And this winter reminds me why snow in New England is better than snow in the south. New England states actually have snow plows! And, people have snow tires on their cars or drive with chains, or stay home if they don't. Individuals own snow shovels to clear side walks, and driveways instead of just waiting until the snow melts away.
I love snow when it covers the brown grass and leafless trees and makes everything a winter wonderland. I don't like having to cover for all the employees that can't get into work (we sell all over the country, so we can't shut down our offices.) I love playing in the snow. But I am in the "south". We are not supposed to have as much snow as we have gotten this winter, and we are not done yet! Can you tell? I have cabin fever. I feel confined. And, I see it is lightly snowing again... this is Sunday... I should enjoy it... but all I can think about is, who won't come to work tomorrow?
Anyways, tonight is the Super Bowl. I an enthralled by the big commercials that come out during this event. I like both teams that are playing, so either one that wins will be OK with me.
The local yoga studio keeps shutting down every time there is just a little snow on the ground. So, I'll go to the class at the YMCA this afternoon (hopefully). The Y class is good, but there are 50 people in it... no personal attention. The class at the local studio usually has around 6 people. Either way will be good for my body.
There is a children's rhyme that is rain rain go away come again some other day. I think we need one for snow. (PS... there is good news. We don't have a drought any more in NC, now we have flooding!)

OMG Korea is the same way...they don't know how to deal with snow. They have some plows but didn't have them serviced and ready for winter so only a small fraction were working. Most people don't seem to own snow shovels...I saw people trying to shift snow with brooms, pipes, pieces of cardboard, small trowels...it was ridiculous. (This was in Seoul, Busan is lucky and has had no snow.)
