For me, it is still very weird that it can get to 80 degrees in the winter! I was wearing capris and a short sleeve shirt yesterday. It should be cold!! But then again....cold for California....which is like 5o degrees max...I remember when I lived in Colorado, waking up and it would be snowing! Nathan and I would run to my parents room shouting "It's snowing! It's snowing!" Then we would get all of our snow stuff on and play outside making snow angels, snow balls (though they didn't stick very well together) and the occasional fort. Once we even made a chair! We would get hot and take our coats off and play with out it. The snow got onto our trampoline and my parents had to shovel it off, because it would weigh the trampoline down. They eventually flipped the trampoline over, so no harm would be done to it. Then when we got cold, we would go inside and have hot chocolate!
My best friend lives near a creek, and in the winter, it freezes over, and we got to skate with our shoes on! But there were thin spots that we didn't skate on. When I was there, Hannah's neighbor brought her friend to skate on the creek too, and we told her where the thin spots were, and I don't know if she accidentally went over there, or what, but she fell in, and the water was icy cold. She left and got warm right away!
One time, it snowed three feet! Almost as tall as me, at the time. We played all day in the snow! My best friend was out of town in guess where? Florida! She was so jealous that it had to snow three feet tere when she was on vacation!
Since the snow was really dry in Colorado, only once in the 4 years we lived there were we able to make snow men. We made a snow family: Snow dad, snow mom, snow brother and snow sister. It was very fun!
I guess I just have to deal with it when it doesn't get that cold here. Though one good thing about living here is that I don't come in from being outside soaking wet!
