I Miss Snow

This is likely not a popular opinion.
Especially in May.
My folks, who live where the weather is cold about 60% of the year are cringing right now.

But when you live in the swamp, and May is supposed to be 70°F(21°C) but it’s 90°F(32°C), you might start dreaming of snow too.

Snowflakes.
Snowballs.
Snowforts.
Snowbirds (bamp! Nope. They’re all gone from here now.)
Snow cones.

Hmmmm….snowcones, now that’s an idea.
Back in my hometown, in the summer, when all the snow finally left, they’d open the snowcone shops.

Here, where it never snows, snowcones are hard to find unless you’re going to an event and they wheel in a snowcone truck or you have your Snoopy Sno-cone machine.

Oh yea!
