According to Merriam-Webster, Snow is precipitation in the form of small white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapor of the air at a temperature of less than 32 degrees F.

According to Matt Webb, Snow is the 4th in line of what I hate the most, behind snakes, clowns, and painting. It may come from above, but it is brewed by El Diablo himself.

But here we are…

In what they are calling The Blizzard of 2025.

Now, I know there are a lot of people out there who love snow. They love watching it fall from the gray sky, land softly on the ground.

These people are probably the same people who put pineapples on their pizza. 

CRAZY PEOPLE!

When I was a child and even in my adolescent years, I enjoyed the snow. I would wait and watch the TV to see if it would tell me if my school was closed.

I would get bundled up in my snow gear and be outside for the entire day. I would build snowmen, have snow ball fights with neighbors, sometimes make yellow snow. 

I had the time of my life then.

Once I became an adult, that love of snow turned into distain. 

No longer do I get to watch the TV to check and see if school is closed… I have to go to work.

No longer do I get to have snow ball fights with neighbors… Not super close with my neighbors.

No longer do I get to make yellow snow… I would get arrested

What I do get to do, is share the road with people who’s brains stop functioning properly when those little white flakes begin to fall from the sky.

What I do get to do, is watch some of those same people causing complete havoc at a grocery store fighting for the last gallon of milk, loaf of bread, or pack of cigarettes. 

I do not think The Blizzard of 2025 will be any different.

Some of you may be thinking…But Matt, you have two boys who will have so much fun playing in the snow.

You are right.

I will fake it. I fake a lot with those boys. I have told my oldest that I loved his picture of a rocket he drew. (that actually looked more like a man’s appendage). 

I will do or say anything so that my boys are happy.

So tomorrow morning when we wake up from a good nights rest, I will take my boys outside and play in the snow.

We will make snowmen, have a snow ball fight, and maybe even make yellow snow.

The snow will not be what makes me happy. I will have to fake that.

However, watching my boys have fun in the snow, will make me happy and maybe… just maybe…

I will make the most of what they are calling The Blizzard of 2025
