Blessed or Cursed


 

So I'll be the first to admit snow isn't really my "thing" so to speak. Don't get me wrong its something that's easily tolerable, we live in the "north"  its something that just happens and you deal with it right? Well something I saw on facebook sort of made me look at it in a new light. It was a weather post for a Dallas, Texas news station that was predicting snow in that area. I found myself reading the comments section and surprisingly, not only were the commenters okay with the snow they were hoping and wishing for it! Apparently it had been years since they saw snow and from the way some sounded they would give anything to see the white stuff. 

 

 

Now as a person living in a climate where snow was abundant and plentiful like many people in Iowa- we get it, its easy to want snow if it only comes once every few years and it melts the same or the next day.  However it does make a person wonder, is it curse or a blessing? It is nice to look at and there are even quite a few benefits as well like protecting plants from extreme cold, replenishing soil moisture and even fertilizing as minerals are collecting on the snowflakes as they fall through the atmosphere. Either way this is Iowa and you know what they say S happens, in this case through the S word means snow. Besides it could be worse we could be living up by the Canadian boarder region! 


Little Lucky doesn't mind the snow & cold, he's got a nice warm scarf to keep him warm and besides winter brings low humidity which is great for metal Dinos!
