Winter Wonderland... Not!

I am sick of snow. Correction, I am sick of New England snow. I am in earnest when I say winter is my absolute favorite season in the whole wide world! However, New England snow is awful. It was nice when it was fresh and powdery and there was little moisture in the air.  Now that it is beginning to melt and the humidity is again rising, I am sick of staring at black, muddy, icky, dirty snow banks as I walk around Western Mass. I would much prefer to be back out West in Utah where I could be skiing on fresh powder and enjoying a dryer climate that did not make the transition between winter and spring so loathsome. What's more, I cannot comprehend why Massachusetts natives insist on using sand on ice. It may be better for cars and less corrosive, but my inner Utahan finds salt much more effective. I also hate the constantly grey and cloudy sky. At least in Utah, the sun shines during the winter! Anyway, that's my two cents about this weather. Upside: it is slowly becoming sunnier and warmer each day. Hopefully, spring isn't far off, plus I will be home in exactly one week for spring break.
