Old Man Winter - you've worn out your welcome

I like to think of myself as a relatively hardy Colorado boy. I was born here, raised here and choose to continue to live here for a reason. I like having all four seasons.

The older I get, however, the more I feel that the snow that creates picturesque Colorado is really just a pain in the butt.  I don't ski anymore - my knees don't take it. The days of making snowmen, snow angels and getting into snowball fights are long gone. I actually used to like to go out and snow blow the driveway after a big storm. Today I would much rather be sipping a Corona on the beach. Maybe that's why all the snow birds go south to Florida.

Actually, its not the snow that is the big culprit - come to think of it, I really don't mind getting a few inches now and then. It's the cold I can definitely do without. My tolerance for being outside in zero degree weather is now non-existent. This last week has just proven that. 30 degrees - ok, 15 - I can deal with it but minus 7 for 3 days in a row?  If I wanted to live in Fargo, I'd be there.
