Freezing to death:  it’s back
Honestly, I don’t mind the cold.  Nevertheless, last winter was not something I look at fondly.  Snow is fine, especially if it results in the cancelling of classes, but snow in April is not fine under any circumstance.  If anybody remembers, that’s what we had last year, along with negative temperatures and Ada wind.

For a while, walking across the tundra feeling my face almost freeze thanks to the wind wasn’t that bad.  It was winter in Ohio, so it was kind of to be expected.  But after three months of that, I, along with everybody else I think, was ready for spring, even if that meant no class cancellations.  It began to take on the feeling of one of those famous winters you live through that people bring up 20 years from now, and you can say memories about it.

But luckily for us (sarcasm), the polar vortex, the cause of the extreme cold, has decided to return.  Looks like it’s time to “polar bear up.”

  1. Ian I understand how you feel. Last winter was awful. The only thing good that comes from having a bad winter is not having to go to class. I lived on the other side of campus last year and I had a very long walk to class. That was the worst. My hands would always freeze and my face felt like a popsicle.
