Northeast Weather
My grandfather says that the Northeast, specifically Massachusetts is a great place to live. His logic is the easy access to health care, higher education and four distinct seasons. I agree with the first two ideas, but the last one has always grinded me throughout my life. I was never able to do snow sports when I was young because they were too expensive. Plain and simple. So I don’t associate winter with time on the slopes and vacations. I associate it with high heating bills, falling on ice and walking through extreme cold to the bus stop and being miserable.
I think I might move to Atlanta, Georgia for a little while. They have a strong job market, good colleges and warm weather. As for what it’s like socially, we’ll see, but it’s worth a shot.
But the snow is so beautiful to look at. I like to grab myself some hot chocolate and light a fire in the fireplace and read or crochet by the fire. If this ice storm keeps up, I may have to use the fire for warmth. Anyway, have a good day.
