This is a Disservice to the City of Cleveland

And to any readers I may have. I apologize in advance, the following post is going to be me complaining for a few paragraphs. I have to say it though... This weather is terrible. I can't help it. There's a window right next to the computer here and a thermometer on the other side of said window. Its currently 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I'm actually thankful we only got 3 inches of snow, maybe a little less. I absolutely can't stand it. For those who live in warmer climates and wish they experienced snow, trust me, its cool like the first time you see it, then it gets old really fast. I mean it makes everything all slick, it takes forever to go anywhere. You got to put all these clothes on... hats, gloves, coats, boots, and so on. Its an adventure to try to walk anywhere without slipping and falling. My 8 minute walk from class to the library to do homework today was more like a 12 minute struggle through the wind in my face and the snow. Not very fun. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot worse things out there. That doesn't make the snow and cold any less of a nuisance though, and that's exactly what it is.
Here's the thing that gets me though. People actually like this stuff. People go skiing and sledding and trek through the snow and actually enjoy it. I don't get it. The only merit I see out of the snow is that I make some cash off of it, clearing it from driveways. Otherwise, all this weather makes me want to do is sit in my warm house... and sleep. Its like, who's the weird people here, me or the people that like this stuff?
I don't know, but I really don't think people were meant to live in the cold like this. Its the only thing I don't like about Cleveland, but when I think about it, its a lesser of evils. I mean, I'll take snow and cold and blizzards over hurricanes (southeast), or earthquakes, and mudslides (west), or floods (great plains). The only place I'd consider going is the desert, like Arizona. But I'm sure no matter how dry of a heat it is, 110 degrees is no picnic either.
So what's my point? Nothing more than to vent and see if anyone relates, and kinda just give an opinion. Comments are welcome, per usual.
