Attn: Rain

Dear Rain,

You must know by now that, no matter what the season is, you will inevitably upset people when you arrive.

In the spring, you cause excited baseball fans to miss games.

In the summer, you cause the outdoor-type to miss out on float trips or camping adventures.

In the fall, you keep children from jumping into crunchy leaves.

And now...as winter approaches...you have been stubborn and kept yourself from freezing so that those of us who want to see snow do not see snow.

I try to give you the benefit of the doubt, but my patience is wearing thin. It's possible that I could forgive you if you would promptly allow yourself to freeze so I could see a nice, soft, blanket of snow in my yard tomorrow.

However.

If this does not happen, I'm not sure if I can endure much more disappointment. There is only one opportunity that you have to totally redeem yourself. And that would be a white Christmas.

No pressure or anything.


Sincerely, Chrissy
