Weather (Mar. 21)

It seems this winter that the weather has had a greater affect on the process of everyday life than it has in some time. Sure there are always snow storms that shut down the country for small periods of time but this winter in particular seems to be so cold with so many constant storms that have literally changed the pattern of life to some extent. It is interesting how weather can affect the mood of people, where the sunny days make everyone happier and the rainy days make everyone seemingly a little more on the down side. Snow, causing such major disruptions either creates stress or time to simply relax like you should have last weekend but forgot to do because there was so much that needed to get done around the house. How might life be just a little bit different if we as a society refused to let the weather affect life so much. It might take changing the way one lives life to be less affected by the weather but it is a process that would certainly change things. We can see how this might work simply in the small differences between a place where there is constantly a great amount of snow and places where there is little snow during the winter. When the storm comes some are more prepared than others.
