Snake you're right but I'm not happy yet. Although I do enjoy snow and the outdoor activities it brings with it, I hate this time of year because it's just plain cold and the snow doesn't stay. Old man winter just teases you with blustery days with lake-effect flurries yet nothing accumulates for another month, minimum. My snowboard is tuned and ready to go but unless I go to the mountains, I'm going to have to sit for the next 3-5 weeks waiting for reasonable accumulation on the hills.
Maybe that's why all this Christmas stuff and family crap is so annoying in the comming weeks, because there is no alternative activities to distract you from everything...like fluffy white snow covered with lots of Ski Bunnies and Board Betties. I guess I could suggest the family Christmas in the mountains...nah!
