Fool me twice, Leonardo DiCaprio...

Hey, Leonardo DiCaprio! We need to have a talk. Remember when you told me about global warming? You know, how we were destroying the planet and the polar ice caps were melting and blah blah blah. Well, I believed you— partially because of the massive heat wave we had last summer, partially because Leonardo DiCaprio is dreamy. This, however, is starting to get a little ridiculous.

Winter has been rather long here in the good ol’ Midwest this year, and it does not seem to be letting up. In fact, we are breaking records with the chill. So, naturally, I was happy for my friends and students when they ran off to their tropical islands and warm, sandy beaches for this week’s Spring Break holiday. Until last night.

Snow. We got snow. MORE SNOW. And not just any snow, a ton of it. 8” and more to come. Normally, I would be over the moon to have a snowstorm on a Sunday night. This means a snow day and I much wanted day off for yours truly. But I ask you, what is the point of  snow day when school is already canceled?!

So, here I sit. I am freezing, soggy, and no longer being a good sport. Not to mention I keep losing my poor little dog in the huge mounds of snow. Enough is enough, Old Man Winter. In case you have not noticed, it is nearly April. The jig is up.

On the bright side…it sure it pretty. Yesterday, when the snow was just beginning, I ran out with the Oz man to snap a few pics to share with all of you. I really should go out again, since today’s snow accumulation makes yesterday’s seem comical, but I simply can’t be bothered. So, for those of you in the Midwest, it is time (yet again) to bring out the snow boots and sleds. Spring isn’t here just yet. For those of you reading this while tanning yourself on the beach, I tell you to (fondly) sod off. Happy shoveling, everyone!
