Yesterday it was snowing, cold and looked nasty. In fact my wife and I did not venture out of the house except when I realized the good fairy was not going to come and shovel the snow. I should have bought that snowblower. We just stayed inside and entertained ourselves with Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, TV, and stuffing our face with food.

We recently spent some time in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. When we were up there many times the comment was made that winter starts in November and lasts until March. Snow will be on the ground all that time and very few days of sunshine during that time. Wouldn't that be depressing?

However, in Denver it may be cold and stormy one day and the next day the sun is out and starting to melt the snow so that we can prepare for the next snow without any remaining snow from the previous storm. I will take this kind of climate over snow and cold for five months. How about you?
