The good:
- February is a short month. We're almost halfway there. Spring happens in March. That is next month.
- Twice this week so far, I caught the 5:20 train home from work, and it was still light when I left the office building
- Running in nasty winter weather makes me feel like I'm a super hardcore athlete
- With all the moisture in the ground, when the snow finally melts, you know there's going to be lots of green!
- I've got great boots and a great poofy winter jacket
The not-so-good
- My black pants seem to be covered in "slush splash" and I think yesterday I might have ripped one of them walking in the snow
- Dirty snow doesn't look as pretty as freshly fallen snow
- There are still a few houses on the big hill on our street that haven't shoveled their sidewalks, so twice a day I risk breaking my neck walking across 3" of packed ice
- Our street is so narrow and the snowbanks so high that we have to do a 3-point-turn just to back out of the driveway
- Far too often I take off my boots and promply step onto a hidden puddle of dripped slush in my bare feet.
