Snow, snow go away come again another day... or next Christmas.
The amount of snow Ottawa has received this winter has been tremendous. The snowbanks in front of my house are literally at least 6 feet in height. It seems never ending, each day snow trickles from the grey and gloomy clouds, quickly filling the salted streets in a thin sheet of what looks to be cotton.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the snow around Christmas time. It adds a certain factor to the holiday that is irreplaceable. Although, when it is February 18 and we have only gotten 3 snow days all year out of this mess, it's easy to say that I'm fed up with "White plague". Also, the snow restricts me from driving to orleans (for my weekly starbucks craving) on weekends when roads are not at perfect condition. This is due to my lovely protective mother.
Not only do I dread the cold and lack of sun, but the factor that the grey sky has upon everyones mood. During the winter it is noticeable that people are generally depressed, irritable or just "under the weather." For example, Mr. Murray went on vacation this past weekend and when he came back to school today with an incredible tan, it was evident that his mood was much higher then other teacher's and student's. Oh well, maybe instead of the RDHS breakfast club we should have the RDHS vitamin D tablet club? "A tablet a week keeps your mood at peak".
