I miss winter.

Cincinnati has had exactly 2 snow accumulations this winter. The first one was in December and caused mass panic. Todd's commute home from work, which normally takes 30 minutes took 210 minutes. (That's 3 1/2 hours!) The second accumulation (of less than an inch) was this past Saturday. It melted within 5 hours.

Winter seems longer somehow. I like winter, I like autumn, but somehow all the days blend together when they are all the same brown landscape. Cincinnati is very green and hilly in the summer, but in the winter, once the leaves have finally fallen, it's like perpetual November. Bleh.

I never thought the hardest part about moving would be missing winter. Sometimes Todd and I entertain the idea of staying put in Cinci. I think the lack of snow would drive me batty. I am more convinced that Minneapolis is where I want to be.
