Winter's last gasp. Maybe.

So it snowed yesterday.

A lot.

Heavy. Wet. Messy.

Social media, to no one’s surprise, was somewhat displeased.

Which made me laugh.

As if there are any “shoulds” when it comes to weather.

As if we have control over it.

As if the concept of fairness, or lack thereof, would ever apply.

So here’s the thing: this is the Great While North. It’s built into our name.

Weather’s going to happen whether we want it to or not.

And there’s plenty of other ridiculousness going on in the world that would rightly qualify as unfair.

So I hope you don’t mind that I wandered around as it snowed and tried to remember what it felt like.

Because even having the ability and the right to peacefully drink it all in is a privilege so many simply don’t have.

And wouldn’t they just love it if a crappy weather day was their biggest worry.
