Where is the snow?

This has been a very disappointing winter for me. I live in New England and expect a winter full of snow storms, blizzards, snow squalls, etc. I love snow. And yet, it has barely snowed all winter! We had a snow storm on Halloween and then nothing but flurries since. I’m not happy about it.

Most people will disagree with me and say it’s been the best winter, but I am sorely disappointed. Nothing is cozier than being stuck inside during a big snowstorm. School and work are cancelled; cars are not allowed on the roads; something delicious is cooking in the crockpot. Who wouldn’t love this?!  

The weathermen have continued to predict snow storms, but seeing how they are only right a small percentage of the time, I shouldn’t be surprised when snow doesn’t fall from the sky. They predict snow for tomorrow and Thursday, but I’m hesitant to believe them. When I was younger, I used to make snowflakes out of paper and hang them in the window. It would snow and snow all winter long…I just hung up a paper snowflake in my cubicle…we’ll see if it works.

Post, the First

Everyone keeps telling me that my first blog post should set the tone of my blog…okay. Tone is set. And I should also define my writing style. (Haven’t I already done that?) And it should discuss what I plan to write about and the type of person I am. Well…I am a wife, daughter, sister, friend, commuter, runner, writer, animal lover, Red Sox fan, cooking enthusiast, grammar nerd…the list goes on. So my posts may have something to do with one, some, or all of those things.

Then, just to make sure I had the right idea…I googled “first blog post” and was told that it will basically suck. So I could end my post here and accomplish all of the above.
