Winnipeg Majors Winter-Time.

   Each year, we all think the same thing. Either you love the snow and can't wait for it to come, or you hate the damn season with a heated passion. Blizzards and storms, cold snow flakes and wind, big jackets with scarfs and boots now so thin. Slippery walks, breath in the air, crunching of cotton, your hair blowing everywhere. Winter 2010 is suppost to be one of the coldest Winters yet. Living currently in Winnipeg, Manitoba; I've got even more to look forward to. Winnipeg being one of the coldest Provinces in Canada, we need to dress warm on every part of our body. Certain days, school would be cancelled due to weather conditions up to -32. In Ontario, Winter time is basically the same. Our school day cancellations are due to slippery roads or blizzards. Other provinces don't experience half of what we do. Not to mention Winnipeg is a flat land, not being able to block any winds or snow storms our way. October 28th 2010 was our first snow fall of the year. Ofcourse it all melted, but the fact of it snowing is a warning that she's a commin! My mom asked when me and my sister wanted to go Winter shopping, for our new snow boots and winter jackets. Writing this ramble just gives me goose bumbs. Currently I look outside, and it is 10:40 in the morning. Sitting in my classroom typing this. Don't judge me, atleast it looks like I'm doing work? I apologize to any teacher who may read this blog, honestly school gets bunk. We gotta change it around every once in awhile. Continuing, it's sunny outside but still chilly. Everyone is now wearing Jackets out doors, and mits. Mother nature is playing a trick on us. It seems the weather has been changing a lot this year, from hot to cold, cold to warm, warm to damp, and damp to dry. Pretty soon Mexico will get snow, the world will turn to such a degree, where places that don't get snow... WILL! That'll be the day, Lucky bastards. Our school in Winnipeg always gets exchange students, this year I seen 4 of those students hop onto the city bus. This was during our "Weather Bomb" week. Basically it was super, super, super windy, rainy, and shitty overall. Tornado watches were in process. They hopped on the bus, and started laughing at eachother, holding their collars from their jackets up against there mouth. Their cheeks were all rosey, and their hair was all messy. They were looking at eachother like this was crazy! They wanted to go back to Europe! The hot sunny weather, where you can't simply wear a jacket. You would ofcourse die from heat stroke. Them experiencing the weather here in Canada was hard for them, but you honestly get used of it. Winter isn't as bad as the artic, that I am thankful for! - Joevanna Magnusson
