Cold Weather

Cold weather and I share a love/hate relationship. In my mind there is nothing better than the first snowfall every year here in Minnesota. The snow here can be so defined and beautiful. It puts a smile on my face everytime I see children outside enjoying the winter wonderland. This make me happy because it reminds me of when I was a little tyke loving every minute being outside. Either building snow forts or throwing snowballs at my neighbor Gary while he tried shuveling his front walkway. As I grew older I realized my favorite hobby happened to fall in the winter months. I have been snowboarding now for about ten years, and to me there is nothing better in the world. My family and I usually take atleast one ski/snowboard trip out west every year. On the other hand cold weather can be a big drag. Cold weather usually doesn't bother me butwhen it reaches below zero I tend to stay indoors as much as I can. The one other thing i don't enjoy about cold weather or winter in general is the sloppy dirty snow on the roads that is one of my pet peaves. In all there really isn't that much I can complain about because i just absolutley love winter.
