A Long Time Coming

 You probably read that title and thought I was talking about karma.

I'm not.

I was referring to the snow hitting the East Coast today. For a lot of places, it is the first snowfall that has accumulated more than a coating on the ground, in almost 2 years. If we could've skidded our way by for another 2 weeks, we would've hit the two-year mark. 

That's insane to think of how much our weather patterns have changed since I was younger. Trust me, that is not a super long time. I make myself sound so much older when I say the lines "when I was your age" to some kids but it's exactly how it sounds. When I was growing up you would do the snow dance and wear your pajamas inside out with your head at the foot of the bed and you would pray for snow to get at least a delay if not off because a delay usually meant a movie day at school. And it would work. Or at least to a kid's imagination it would work, because if the teachers told you to go home and do it, there was already a 90% chance of snow the next day and we would end up with at least 6 inches if not a foot. Don't have that happening anymore.

I remember going to my dad's work and driving our go-carts around and the snow was as tall as the go-cart. Keep in mind the go-cart had a roll cage on it and therefore was at least 4 feet tall. That means there was four feet of snow! That's crazy to think we went from 4 feet of snow that I was getting my go-cart stuck in, to maybe a coating at once for nearly two years.

We are ruining our planet and the childhoods of the new generations.
