now that you seem to almost be gone, i guess i can tell you that you were kind of fun to have around this year, winter...with all your snow that seemed to fall heavy every week and last forever...with all the school vacation days that got taken back to make up for snow days...with all the shoveling and even with the fear that we would never see our grass again...yes, winter, you were kind of fun to have around this year...and beautiful too...winter 2015.
