Two quick things I love about Virginia weather:

1) Consistency. Yesterday, December 15th mind you, it was sixty five degrees and sunny. This morning when I wake up? Thirty seven and raining. The latter of course being the normal winter weather for Va., raining and just warm enough not to snow.

2) The sense of excitement. The mere mention of flurries in this city sends people flocking to the grocery stores, all desperate to get their hands on every loaf of bread and gallon of milk within city limits. I have lived here for thirty three years and I’ve never been snowed in for longer than two days at the absolute most, and that was mainly just because we didn’t have anywhere to go. Yet every year people attack the bread aisle as if this might be the last chance they’ll get before spring thaw. How many sandwiches can one family make in forty eight hours?

Anyway, I need to move somewhere with a chance at a white Christmas.
