An Open Letter to Mother Nature

You're garbage, sister.
The first meter-and-a-half of snow was kind of funny, but now, I think I would prefer the swarms of locusts. It has snowed 22 out of 29 days in February, and we have received 3.1 m this winter (not including today's snowfall). That is well over four times my daughter's height. The part of her brain that recognizes the colour green has long since shrivelled up from lack of stimulation from foliage.
In closing, we get it; you're really powerful, but this snow is bullshit.
Sincerely,
Michel

Oh wow, too much. I have to agree with you, even way up here where it's expected, we have had WAAAY to much this year. Enough already!!!

Amen, brother.

Thanks for your letter - it seems to have worked. Hooray for 5 degrees!
I can't tell you how tired I am of hauling snowsuited children through snowbanks.

I kind of hate to say this - no I don't. I went hiking in the Mohave Dessert this week-end to experience the wildflowers in person. We saw poppies, and lupine and blue flowers and yellow flowers and white flowers. OK, so a horticulturist I'm not. Neither am I a rock climber. Which seems to be what's popular here at Joshua Tree National Park.
Anyway, on the way back, I also experienced my first sand storm. Luckily, I was not driving for a change. My friend decided to rent a car for the 2 hours drive. The windshield is permanently marked from the sand etching its way through 70 mile an hour winds. Brrr!
So, snow storm, sand storm. Potato, potatoe. The crocus should be up soon.

Yeah, I'm going to have to ask you to not write any more letters.
