Seriously, does Alabama just walk around going “Here, hold my beer” every year when some city or state sets the record for the warmest temperature at the end of November? It is 72 degrees at the end of November here in beautiful Central Alabama. STOP IT ALREADY!

Where are the frigid temperatures? Where are the snow flurries? When can I pull out my snow boots, mittens, and ear muffs? WHEN CAN I WEAR MY CUTE SNOW JACKET? I HAVE A SNOW SHOVEL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I spent quite a few years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when I was younger and I miss those cold winters. I got another taste of that awesomeness when I lived in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area for a few years a while back and I still crave it. I am thankful we do get cold weather here and there, but I’m not going to lie – I want it A LOT more.

I abhor the heat and humidity in Alabama. I hate being hot and it makes me physically ill. I would love to live somewhere cooler, but life keeps me here right now and that’s totally ok. But when I can, ADIOS HOT WEATHER! Please bring on the cold weather soon, Mr. Winter. I’m ready for you, your brothers, sisters, and all your frosty relatives!
