Living in New England has it’s perks (We have the best lobster you can find), but the weather is also sporadic. Snow is great around Christmas and when your eight o’clock is cancelled, but…It’s gone on a little long.
1) Digging Out Your Car: More mornings are spent scrapping off your car than not. No matter how many layers of clothing you are wearing, you end up soaked and cold.
2) Driving: If you’re ever forced to drive during one of these storms, beware. I recently was in the passenger’s seat during a messy storm. The twenty minute ride to school took two hours. Everyone is sliding everywhere, sliding during a turn could land you in a snowbank (It did.). It’s heard enough driving a car, but the worst part is everyone else. Why does everyone forget how to drive during a storm? After driving over some ice, my friends bumper cracked. Weather is a car enthusiast’s worst nightmare.
3) Ice: You would think that living on campus would give you less ice to have to chip away. Wrong. Outside my building in an ice rink. Even my sturdiest boots are slipping. Not to mentioned, that ice gets tracked into my dorm room and soaks through my shoes. Even my floors aren’t safe.
So why put up with it? Why not just transfer far away and never have to deal with it again?
Oh right, it’s actually pretty beautiful.
