10 Reasons Why I Love The Cold Weather

10. It is definitely better than the hot weather.190920091337

9. It’s given me an excuse to shop for some really nice clothes and shoes.

8. It gives me a reason to always be in a crowd. It definitely helps when one is in a community of people.

7. I have to take hot baths everyday.

6. I don’t get to sweat much.

5. It is cozy. It gives me an excuse to stay in bed longer.

4. I definitely look better than I looked two months ago, and for that, I credit the cold.

3. It has provided an excuse for me to get/sit close to those who smoke, just so that I can get a little whiff of their hot smoke, without holding the cigarettes in my hands. Wait a minute. Is this a good thing or not?

2. It will at least give me a chance to see snow. I can’t wait to see the Cougar Lake freeze over so I can walk on it.

1. It gives me an excuse to eat more food, fatten up, drink tea, coffee and hot chocolates.

See you all next month, and thank you for being there. Thank you T, for making me write this. Have a nice Anniversary Celebration tomorrow, Nigeria. May you have something to celebrate.

10 Reasons Why I Hate The Cold Weather

30092009146910. It lasts for too long. I’ve been here since August, and from what I hear, it will get colder and colder until March.

9. It has cost me a fortune in buying coats, gloves, and boots, hats and shawls that I might not need anymore by the time I leave here in the spring.

8. It has a way of showing me out of a crowd. Wearing three shirts and a sweater, it’s never hard to pick me out of a crowd, especially when everyone else is wearing just one shirt and jeans each, and some in shorts.

7. I have to take hot baths every day.

6. It is windy, and often unpredictable.

5. It keeps me in bed longer.

4. It has dried up my skin, and now my palms look like a snake changing skins. I also think I’m getting fairer complexioned.

3. It’s unavoidable, inescapable. Being claustrophobic. I know that there will be a time when it will make me feel like I’ve been stacked in a cold freezer, with nowhere to go, and it will feel like the end of the world. What will I do then?

2. It will soon prevent me from riding my bike when it starts snowing, or typing blog posts when I have to wear gloves all day.

1. Nobody seems to have anything else to say to me when I broach the topic other than: “Oh no, this is not cold yet. Wait until a few weeks/months time.”
