Winter.

TEN
INCHES
OF
SNOW.
Winter is bad. Admittedly it's relevant to location. But it's sucky in general because everything's dead. Or the weather's just sulky.

The fact that if you live in an area where it doesn't snow (hello, Alabama!) all you get is rain.
And mud. Lots, and lots, and lots of mud.

I spent two years in Michigan and encountered this every single day from October until almost April.
Also: an annoyance that is hilarious to laugh at...
- People who have never driven anywhere near a snow-ridden state, such as Michigan, and suddenly they have black ice. And hills. The accidents are sad, but watching them drive in it is funny.
Social Bacon:
Yesterday I went skating on the rideau canal and played a game of hockey. It was amazing.
Tyler:
I only hate Winter when it gets very slushy or when the state doesn't adequately salt the roads. Otherwise, I deal just fine.

Sadly this was me the other day. I moved up here from Atlanta last June. I'm excited because the highway is all clear and shiny and pretty and looks wonderfully safe to zip along on my merry way. I'm doing the speed limit (~seventy mph), but I notice that EVERYONE else is in the right lane doing about thirty. Then I get suspicious and think, "Huh, maybe these yankees know something I don't..." And move over and slow down.
OH.
- Cars that say they have "traction control" but all they really do is make your brakes feel weird when you're stopping and you bump into someone anyway. Granted, it was at like two mph, and there was no damage and I was wished a nice day, but still. Grumble.
