I hate snow. I’m okay with it for the first few weeks but then it just stays for SUCH A LONG TIME. I only like snow when there is a ton of it, enough to go sledding. Then it must melt completely within two or three weeks before I get tired of sledding. Here are the statistics: Calgary gets 144 centimeters of snow a year. It starts with three centimeters in September, snows every month with November the snowiests at 25 centimeters and this snow stretch ends in May with six centimetres. But Calgary also has Chinooks which temporarily melt the snow. Frost, slush and only a tad of snow is terrible. You can’t do anything. If there’s slush your shoes get dirty. If there is not too much snow, it’ll be cold outside but you can’t even play with the snow. Or if there's frost… it’s cold and slippery. Let’s say you want to take a three-meter walk from your house to your backyard. But no, because of the ice literally glued and attached to the ground of the earth, you will trip, slip and fall, because ice is not nice. Nor is it your friend. And when finally that annoying snow melts, you are still left with that pathetic slippery ice crap that will give you a concussion whenever you dare leave your house. Like for real. And they say we don’t have permafrost. YOU’RE HIDING SOMETHING CANADA! Oh and normal people would want to go sledding or go skiing/snowboarding. Ice skating! Snow angels, snowmen, snow forts. BLAH BLAH BLAH. You can take your hot chocolate jolly old saint nick, but I do not want to let it snow, because in Calgary, you also have to take the coldest day in Calgary being -32C! Plus trust me, if you have snow from September to May, you’ll get tired of it quickly. People in tropical parts of the world think we’re so lucky to have snowball fights and stuff like that. But for real. I dare you Hawaiians to last 10 minutes in the cold, with fully prepared winter clothes and all that stuff too. Yeah, you’ll quit two minutes in. This is why I hate winter. Because in grade 8, every day you have to go outside at 7:55 a.m. when school starts and stay in the cold for an hour first thing in the morning. And you’re stuck outside unless it’s -22C. So in conclusion… Don’t let it snow.
