Lest you think that the lack of snow so late into December is an anomaly, I have written about similar situations a minimum of three different years since starting this blog. As someone who lived for a length of time further north where gardens couldn't be planted until after the May long weekend and often froze the September long weekend, I, for one, am not sad about the aforementioned deficit of the white stuff. In fact, I don't view it as a 'lack' but more of a brief reprieve as we all know it will happen just not when, exactly. And sometimes the having of something does not measure up to the anticipation while waiting for it. So let's wait a little bit longer because just as Christmas is coming sooner rather than later, so is winter.
