For football fans it meant more games without blankets and heavy coats to keep out tingling winds and wet weather. For the beet growers it meant a delay in harvest. There hadnt been enough cold nights to increase the sugar content in the beets. For the merchants it meant a jdelay in purchases of winter clothing, electric blankets, thermal wear and winter sports wear and equipment. For the ordinary person it just meant nice weather for walks, drives, sports and enjoying the scenery, and as I said to my neighbor recently, The majority of folks loved it. BUT, when the first show fall comes it isnt so welcome. Id dare say that the great majority of people hate to see it appear. The few exceptions I can think of right away are,-- - the winter sports fans. They immediately begin to get their gear in shape, listen to the weather casts and begin to get uneasy to get up in the mountains and begin the fun. Likewise those in charge ofSki Lodges and mountain retreats begin final preparations for their big seasons work. People who live in out of the way places due to one circumstance or another make trips to town for supplies and make preparations in case they are marooned for some time. Many older people are reluctant to go out of doors when the winter weather arrives for fear that they may fall and break a limb so they do their last minute visiting or shopping or preparing so that they will be ready for the wintery blasts and days of confinement. When the first snow comes, either in the mountains or in the valleys the f jrst thing I usually do is complain-ve- ry loudly. I do not enjoy winter weather at all unless I am in a nice warm room with plenty of reading material and the comforts of life and no idea that I will have to venture outside. I am not an optimist. When it begins to snow I think of bad roads, being cold, getting stuck in snowbanks, freezing weather, ice on the sidewalks and roads, power failures, bad television reception,-beincold, bulky clothing, icy snowballs, cold fingers, cold toes, cold noses, cold, cold, cold... For cold blooded people it isnt a happy prospect. I have met folks who love the cold weather and claim that they feel better and enjoy life more when it is wintery and cold. I have a hard time convincing myself that such a thing could be possible, but when people who I am sure are dependable and honest insist, I have no alternative but to believe them. Im with a lot of folks I know who claim that cold winter weather is for the birds. But have you noticed that most of the smart ones fly south? To me it sounds like a wonderful idea, thing is, I think weve waited too long, its beginning to snow!!! |
