Premature winter
Q: You know what really grinds my gears?
A: Premature winter. It’s not that I dislike the winter season, it’s really just that I dislike the temperature drop, the glacier floors in the mornings, the freezing winds. I’ve been told that in other areas (mainly the Kootneys in BC), that winter isn’t too bad — it’s not as cold, the snow is lighter, and the wind is nearly nonexistent.
I’m not sure what the root cause is but over the last few years it seems that the autumn season is getting shorter and shorter. Almost to the point where it’s indistinguishable from winter. This is what really grinds my gears.
In the past summer would gradually die down and there would be a great transition to winter. This would usually be for at least a month or two (on ocassion three or more but that’s just plain weird) of fall weather to slowly break me into the colder weather. Now, I’m lucky if there is a week or two.
Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older and have more to complain about. Maybe I just get seasonal depression. Maybe it’s just because the heating in my house sucks.
I think the solution is to move myself to a warmer climate. Ah, at least I can dream about it and that always warms me up a little.
