Why Won’t it Stop Snowing?


I read a news report today that New Hampshire just endured its eleventh major snow day this winter. Last winter, living in Seattle, I experienced approximately eleven fewer major snow days. Apparently New Hampshire is nearing an all time snow-fall record; we only need 20 more inches. Even when it’s not snowing, you can still see it piled up high in parking lots and along the road sides. Oh sure, it was new and exciting at first to be living in New England and getting a foot of snow at a time, but I’m getting tired of it. I can’t say the rainy winters growing up in the Pacific Northwest were all that enjoyable, but at least rain seeps into the ground and you don’t have to stare at it for 4 ½ months. And guess what, it’s snowing, again.

Hahaha! Welcome to the northeast brother!! It'll be snowing until the end of April here in Connecticut so I can only imagine the horrors of New Hampshire!!! Ohhhh the joys of this corner of the country :) My first winter in CT brought on over 9 feet of snow throughout the winter. It must be some crazy initiation thing that the Northeast does.
