Dear Snow

Sometimes you can be so much fun. You're pretty, soft, great for building, rolling around in, throwing, climbing and even eating. But sometimes you can be really frustrating.

Like today, you were falling from the sky and already a nice layer on the ground all morning. Not enough to cancel classes, but just enough to make walking to them rather unpleasant. When I go outside in you because I choose too, it's fun. But when I'm forced to go outside to walk to class... well all you do is make it horrible. For one thing, it's cold, and that's never fun. Even with a big winter jacket on, parts of me are still quite uncomfortable. You're also wet, landing on me, getting my bag and school things wet, my head and/or hood wet, and my clothing wet. On top of that, what's already on the ground is wet, getting all over my shoes and pants, getting absorbed, freezing my feet and making me rather uncomfortable.

You also sometimes block off routes, or make them incredibly dangerous. You prevent me from doing anything during the walk, I can't pull out my phone to check something, or some school stuff to make sure I did the homework, or a snack to eat, or anything because you'll just get it wet.

If you're going to come down on a day when I have class, the least you could do is fall hard enough to cancel classes.
