    To whom it may concern.
    Yes, we in the Pacific North West were originally amused when you sent us cold and snow for a month. After the second month, we found it less amusing.
    When it continued into March, our clammy toes froze and we felt like the joke is on us, you have gotten revenge for all our bragging about our wonderfully mild climate.
    It is hard not to notice that a majority of this weather is happening on weekends. Is that an in your face or what?
    You made your point. Are you going to let us have spring or what?
    Yours truly another little tiny creature on the planet.

    ps IS THAT SNOW I SEE FALLING OUTSIDE NOW??!?!?

    Dear Aunt Carol,

    Today marks the fourth anniversary of your passing, and there still isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and wish you were here.

    Thanks for being such an instrumental part of my life for 40+ years; I try to practice the lessons you taught me, whether it's being a person of integrity or just taking the time to enjoy a cupcake with a friend.

    I miss you lots.

    Love,
    Your favorite niece

    PS I had a cupcake in your honor today!
    I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

    Dear Weather Gods:

    Please don't forget that the PNW has a wet and dry side. I don't blame Mimi, but please continue to snow on the dry east side. Unlikethe west side, we need to moisture. We won't get any more in a few months. We need every bit. Especially the fishies.

    Besides, I haven't had enough skiing for the season and I'm stuck inside now with a gigandawanda blister and bronchitis so prolonging the ski season would be very appreciated.

    Which reminds me . . .
    Dear Parents of Snotcicle Laden Short People:

    Please keep them at home where they belong. The only two times in the last two years I've been surrounded by your microbe incubators I've been sick within 48 hours. I don't get sick otherwise so I know you are responsible. Show a little respect for others.
    Signed,
    A sick SK

    Thanks, Mimi. And 57 is not too old for nordic. I took classic and skate classes this winter and, except for one woman, was the youngest in each.

    Oh, is that cross country? I've done it, and it was fun (until i came to slight slope and couldn't NOT fall down)
    Too much gasoline is expended doing that particular sport.
