For the past week or so, it was like a high of seven degrees outside, and the snow mostly melted.

Now there's snow back on the ground. Yay.

I've determined that - some point during this weekend - I'm telling my mom that I want to transfer.

It's a matter of whether I'm going to do it today or tomorrow.

Indeed.

We only got our first snowfall on Christmas day (apart from that one time in October, but that lasted a week before it all melted away).

Can't say climate change is fake.

Well, March is our snowiest month. We do get cold snaps during the winter but when you have 300+ days with some sunshine, it takes the edge off the cold.

Indeed. But nothing is worse when there is no snow on the ground, and yet, there is an extreme cold warning.
