Blog: It's sNOw fun

Jessica Lane, Staff Writer, jlane@chickashanews.com The Express-Star

— As a fan of things like fake fireplaces and the aquarium channel, it should be no surprise that I'd rather enjoy snow in pictures, video or anything that doesn't require that I have to deal with it directly.

Those of us who had to rise a little earlier this morning to dig our cars out of the cold and get to work at a 20 mph crawl are probably less enthusiastic about a white Christmas than, say, those who are still on vacation.

At the risk of being a Debbie Downer or day-after-Christmas-Scrooge, I don't mind admitting that I hate snow.

In my opinion, the cold, the danger on the roads and the hassle isn't worth a little scenery.

The only positive I can think of is that the precipitation may help decrease the danger of fires.

What do you think, Grady County citizens? Do you love or hate the snow?
