MY grass is greener

Greetings!
I read a few blogs.  I have a few e-mail friends.  I watch the news.  Most of you all out there are enjoying a REAL winter.  Cold temperatures, snow, the works.
I LOVE winter.  Oh I've never really experienced a truly cold winter, like those of you at 40 below, but I like winter temperatures around the freezing level, snow on the ground, cosy fires, hot chocolate, the still and hush of a snowy landscape.  It nourishes my soul.

Before Christmas we had a bit of snow and a short cold snap, but Christmas day dawned wet and green, and we've been mostly that way ever since.
Today's morning news report says we are in for 200 mm of rain by the end of tomorrow.  That's about 8 inches for you non-metric types.  The temperature is about 11C (think 52F or so)

I would gladly trade with any of you for a few wintry days.  My green and lukewarm for your white and cold.  If you are hating the snow and cold, and want to get back at me  help me out, could you please go outside and make a snowball, and throw it in my general direction?  West coast of Canada, near the US border?  Come on, if all of you work together I might get my own little snow storm.

Meanwhile, my grass is greener.
