What's all that White Stuff?

The view right outside my window for the past 5 months...

This semester I have encountered a problem that I thought would never happen to me. I simply love winter. I mean, you can just cuddle up in a toasty blankie with a cup of hot cocoa and watch the snow fall. I would feel content sitting there all afternoon in front of the window. However, at home the winter lasts from late November to mid February then it warms up and spring arrives. This is how I grew up, and I loved it. However, the winters in Rexburg are significantly longer than those of my childhood. I hate to admit that I am mildly angry at the snow. Just this morning I awoke to a thin new layer of snow on the ground. Sure it is pretty and all, but come on! Enough is Enough! I admit. I have a sour case of cabin fever. I just want to see colors again. I miss colors and everything that is supposed to have colors like trees, grass, rooftops, dirt, sidewalks, cars and so much more. It is just all covered in fluffy white stuff here. This winter thing has become dreaded rather than beloved. I watched the first day of spring come and go without the slightest difference in the weather. It was fun for a while, but I am willing to submit to the fact that I am itching for a colorful spring!
