i hate winter

i hate the cold. i have been used to and loving the early spring of Oklahoma (barring the next few days, when they might see some snow or other frozen precip) for 3 of the past 4 springs. the one other spring was actually autumn for me... yeah, i studied abroad in australia that time frame (feb-july) so i missed spring altogether and experienced 3 autums in a row! i really miss the oklahoma weather, the first storm of the season, the first chase of the season, the 80 degree days mixed in between the ice storms. here, it is colder longer, thanks to that pond also known as the atlantic ocean. due to the higher specific heat of water than land or air, it stays cool longer and affects our weather here. granted, it delays our autumn and winter, but it also delays our spring and summer! which i don't like at all!! so that is my rant for the evening. i want spring to come! i'm sick of the cold! it's march, for crying out loud, lets get some warmth!!!!
