Michigan, I've let you down...

For the last couple weeks now, I've been fighting it. But the time has come to admit the truth:

I am a weather wimp.

I came to California, laughing at all those who say "oh yes, it gets cold here". I sneered at people who said "We get snow....on the mountains". I'm sorry, do you scrape it off your car every morning? Drive through it 5 months of the year? No? Oh, well then, you have NO IDEA what snow really is! Clearly these people are all spoiled rotten by the weather and just don't know it.

I woke up a couple weeks ago, smacked the alarm clock, got ready for school amid the chaos of my two 16 pound cats, and stumbled out the door.

Cold.

Hmmm...that can't be right.

Went to school, parked, and walked to my room quickly.

Cold.

Next day, same morning routine.

COLD!!

It's got to be 30 degrees outside. Why did I leave my coats in Michigan? I should have my parents send my winter gear over, this is clearly only the beginning.

A hasty check of weather.com confirms what I feared. Actual temp. on those mornings: about 60 degrees.


I'm sorry Michigan, I thought I was stronger.

There are more weather wimps than you know. Sadly though the ones here in New York have enough money to avoid those of us brave inclement environments, mostly because we have no choice.
