Brrrr



So this gets me every time. We live in Vermont. Vermont gets a little chilly in the winter, I wont lie. However, it’s Vermont. It’s normal for it to be cold in the winter. Normal for a spring chill, a few days in the summer when it dips down to the 50’s, and a crisp fall season.

So why is it, that every year there are people who seem to be surprised at the weather? Vermont has had this type of weather for thousands and thousands of years. What makes people think that it will suddenly change because they’re tired of it? It’s not going to. If you don’t like the temperature here don’t feel like you have to stay, by any means.

These same people who hate the cold usually don’t have a very big winter jacket, nor do they have hats, gloves, and scarf’s readily available. Like the cold just sneaks up on them. Or the first 50 degree day and all the supplies get packed away and shipped off somewhere, not to be seen for another 6 months. I don’t care if you don’t want to look like a dork, or if you think it’s not ‘cool’ to be bundled up when others are wearing shorts. I’d rather you did that then complain about it, nor do I want to be seen in public with you if you’re shaking like a Chihuahua or something. Put a hat on, throw on some gloves, and deal with it.

You don’t have to remind everyone how much you hate the cold. It gets old real fast.

Just so ya know.
