SNOW *shakes tiny fist*

selenayI am noting for posterity that it snowed today. Only for a couple of hours and it was wet slushy stuff that didn't settle for long, but still. SNOW. SLIPPERY ROADS. SNOW.
And it's not even the first time! That was on Wednesday.
I think it's time to admit this: I fucking hate Canadian winters.
There. I said it.
I loathe snow. I miss the kind of winters where, if you got snow, it lasted for a day or two and melted and that was it for the year. I miss winters that are cold and often a bit soggy, but not a shitshow of snow and ice for four months.
I miss winters where I don't feel afraid every time I step outside in case I fall on the inevitable ice. I hate being unable to look away but at the same time hating to check the weather forecast because it'll probably include another massive storm coming to trap me in the house again. I'm tired of being nervous every time the ground looks slightly shiny or wet, in case it's actually ice because it's always ice. I don't mind the cold, but I hate all the other parts that come with winter.
I miss being able to get out and do things whenever I want through the winter. I miss liking winter and loving autumn, instead of seeing the leaves turning as the harbinger of winter hell.
In short, I hate winter here. I really, really do.
