The meteorologists say that a storm is coming. One the likes of which have never been seen here in Utah. I say bring it on. I like the rain and snow.
I find it rather interesting how something as simple as the weather can drastically affect how a person feels. For example, several students and one of the counselors I know at my school get sad and slightly depressed on days when it’s raining, while I on the other hand am thrilled. I feel better when it’s raining than on days when the sun is shining fiercely. Now, it’s not that I don’t like the sun, but when it doesn’t belong it does not belong. Winter is supposed to be a time of snow - especially here in Utah, home of the “Greatest Snow on Earth” - not a time for the spring sun. Which brings a further problem that’s not related to what I’m talking about but it’s interesting so I’ll briefly mention it. Here in Salt Lake City, January for the most part was just sun all the time and no snow. However, the air temperature was often very low. This led people to think that they weren’t at risk of sun exposure, thereby leading them to think they didn’t need any sun screen. And of course, because of this, people got sunburned. My time is quickly expiring, so I will end the discussion here for the moment. But I will pick it up tomorrow, as I still have things to say about it.
