Review of Winter

So is it strange to review a Season? Yes. Am I going to anyway. Yes.

Having lived in the Southern Midwest and in New England I have experienced the diversity of 4 seasons. Seattle is proving to be a tad bit different, and frankly, weird.

To start off one should know that I HATE being cold. I would rather be hot any day. Except that it has to be REALLY REALLY hot for me to classify as "hot." Also, when I get cold it takes me sometimes hours to warm up.

Seattle is weird. It's not cold in the strictest sense. In fact, it rarely stays below freezing. But that is what is actually hardest. The "mildness" of the winter stops me from wearing long underwear- or bundling really well every time I go outside. So in fact, I am finding that if I am not careful I get colder than I anticipated- because it a bit more mild but not so mild that I don't get cold.

Another new things for me is that at times it warms up into the lower 50's and then it smells like springtime smells in Massachusetts and Illinois- The melting wet ground gives me false springtime hope when in fact, it is only January!

I guess this isn't a review as much as a topic. But so be it.
