It has been snowing off and on yesterday and today. I believe this is only the third time weÂ’ve had snow with ANY accumulation. It looks like we are up to a whopping 2 inches at this time. Yet all I heard today was people complaining that it is snowing. As I listen to these people complain, I just want to scream at them. My screams would remind them that weÂ’ve in a drought for the last year and a half. We have hardly had any snow this winter, and that is vital to preparing the soil for planting. The much needed moisture the snow provides will be necessary for crops.

Yet these people donÂ’t understand that. All they see is that they are minorly inconvenienced by having to drive on slick roads. Since they arenÂ’t farmers and their jobs arenÂ’t dependant directly upon a crop, they just donÂ’t care. Many of them complained last year when it did rain. All they think about is how it affects their little world. Heaven forbid the farmers need the rain; itÂ’s interfering with Dick and JaneÂ’s weekend on the lake! IÂ’ll admit I get irritated when it rains on one of my re-enactments. Yet I always seem to make the statement, If we didnÂ’t need the rain, IÂ’d be pissed. I admit we need the rain and accept it. Not these people, nope. They just complain that itÂ’s interfering with their lives.

Personally, I would like to see a good 2 feet of snow fall on us. We havenÂ’t had much in the line of snow fall all year. I miss the old winters when I could get lost in the snow banks digging forts.
