...the worst part about our winters is that they are so long. The cold weather begins in October and warm spring temps don't really happen until mid-May most years. It is not common, but also not unusual to have snow storms in April with significant accumulation. The snow doesn't stick around for long and will melt off in a few days but it can have quite an effect on moods. After years, or a lifetime of that, it just gets to be too much to put up with anymore...

That's what it was like for me in Michigan. I lived there for 13 years. The winters were simply way too long for me. I don't know if or how much in my case my having grown up in the south was a factor in my eventual cabin fever and need to move away, but I remember once in mid-May looking out of the living room windows and watching it snowing and I started saying, "Don't you people see what's happening here?! This is wrong!". There were no people which is maybe a good thing and beside the point. It was depressing after 13 years. Because it's just wrong.

I know, I know! This is why I am unable to leave my house today (that plus a light case of the Montezuma's revenge following our Mexican wedding trip, oh vey...)
