Getting Accustomed to the Weather

Manitoba will always be home, but Massachusetts has a few things going for it. Take the weather, for instance. It’s now nearly the middle of November and we’ve had only 2 or 3 nights of significant frost. The trees have just finished losing their leaves, and there are still days when it is nearly too warm in the afternoon to wear a jacket outside. Gotta love it. I love it even more when I hear that Manitoba has already had several significant dumps of snow. (Get this. I found out about the “Halloween snow” while browsing the CBC website. Apparently, that snowfall was significant enough to be frontpage, national news. Go figure!) There’s been no snow in Massachusetts. I’ll welcome the snow when it comes–after all, what would winter be without snow–but I’ll enjoy the mild weather for as long as it stays.
