So it's early January and the Boat Show is almost here. While the boat show really saves you during the winter months, it is becoming less and less believable that there is actually a summer in Minnesota.
Just yesterday I had to shovel my sister out from getting her car stuck. And being outside for that long really made a dent on my moral. Its been below freezing for God knows how long and I can only dream and think of how warm the July sun feels on my face.
Winter months in Minnesota can put a drag on anyone who loves the summer months. And for me playing hockey is the one thing that takes the edge off of the cold weather, matter of fact I'd rather be on the rink when its cold than when its 80 and sunny outside. But the cold weather makes you appreciate the warm months.
The Florida and California population don't really see the drastic changes in temperature in their states and don't truly get the real feeling of summer. So being a true Minnesotan I take pride in that we have quite the winter and it really can get cold.
But overall you have to take the good with the bad and remember that it will get warmer, the days will get longer and the ice will come out of the lake. So appreciate the winter and every time you think it couldn't get colder, think about out on the lake with the sun in your eyes and the tunes it. It may not last long but the thought will help you get through the winter.
