Not another post about the weather! or, "The grass is always greener"

"The grass is always..." yeah...
You know that phenomenon when the weather is some sort of extreme, and we say "gee, this is awful. I much prefer (insert opposite climate condition). This type of weather just isn't my thing."

Well, gee, this snow has been awful. I much prefer hot weather.

Sure, there are only mosquitoes that suck the lifeblood from your veins and leave angry welts for days; frequent risk of sunburn and if not that, at least dehydration and heatstroke; the choice of running up one's energy bill via either air conditioning or tons of fans if you don't want to suffer the previous conditions; the lethargic feeling of "it's too hot to exercise or do anything productive"; your clothes sticking to you; the thunderstorms, hailstorms, hurricanes or you name it storms; the frizzing of one's hair...

... but it's better than this weather. Right?

I recall the most recent summer, when the heat was miserable and I was gladly explaining how winter is so much better because you can curl up with tea, easily put on more layers when cold, enjoy holiday treats, and play in the snow!

Ha.

Once the warm weather does roll around (and yes, folks, it will, eventually), please, somebody, don't let me complain about the temperatures again. I've found that it doesn't actually help the weather change at all.

(I really need to find other topics soon, or this will soon become A Common Christian in the Weather.)
