As annoying asitwould be, i was hoping for a very white winter. I knew there would be days where i thought i was crazy wishing that - especially during my 50 minute commute home from work which is instantly turned into a 2 hr drive. Seeing as though this is our last winter in Utah i wanted to experience all that wintger had to bring. In actual fact as i sit here and reflect back on the past 5 winters i have experienced since being here i notice that each winter has had less snow that the previous. Even though we havent had alot of snow yet it has still been cold - just not your typical winter cold. Each year around Jan-Feb we have a 2-3 week period where it is lucky to get above freezing, which also never occured.......and that i am ok with!! Because the cold and the white stuff never came it has felt as though we never actually had a winter or that it is still coming (which might happen yet).
I was thinking the other day about the fact that we are now moving toward March and that means it is fast approaching on a year since my folks were here. One of the first things i remember about that time is the weather. It wasnt warmbut it was anything but cold. Most days my Dad would walk Ava down to the park to play. To think that we are only a few weeks away from that sort of weather really hits home that we are at the end of winter. I cant believe that our final winter here is winding down but am so ready for some warm weather again and plenty of outdoor activities.......Not before i get in a few more trips to go boarding!!
