Where's The Snow?

Blame global warming, blame lake erie, blame whatever.. the fact of the matter is that it is December Twelfth and we've only had one snowstorm so far this year. Where is it?! Normally by this time of year we're sledding down bunny hills, skiing doing larger ones and shoveling our snow covered driveways. But as I look out the window I still see the leaves of fall, and the grass of summer. Very odd isn't it? Then again, as I think... do we really want all the snow? Do we want all the salt on the road, the ice to slip on and the slippery conditions? Well, personally, I think I do. I love the winter for a little bit. That's right,  I said a little bit. December and January are great. The cold weather and snow provide the perfect scenery for Christmas time leading up to and after New Years. Cutting down the Christmas tree wouldn't feel right without the cold snow packed underneath you as you lay there cutting it down. While the snowfall this year has been light I think we're in for quite the beating. Warmer temperatures have caused Lake Erie to warm to abnormal temperatures. With the cooler winds blowing in snow is inevitable. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the worst winters we've had in a few years; that is, if it comes at all!
