Commentary: Still waiting for a good dose of winter

While leaving the Jacksonville High School parking lot on the first day back to school after Christmas break, I noticed something that was a little out of the ordinary.

After stepping out of the back doors, students seemed to immediately shed their layers of sweatshirts and jackets and then left in their cars with their windows rolled down and sunroofs open.

This is obviously nothing out of the ordinary, except that it was in the first week of January.

Morgan County even experienced a record high temperature one day. And before Thursday, other than a few light flurries here and there, we have had no snow.

I noticed a surprising number of people still exercising outside, young children playing outside with their friends, couples taking walks, and even the long lines at almost every car wash in town.

While most of the people around me were getting excited because of this warm weather, I was not enjoying it.

This is still the best time of the year to be snuggled up in my house with hot chocolate and reading a good book or watching a favorite movie with my family. With the warm weather, I felt guilty not being outside doing something productive.

I know that there is still plenty of time in the winter season left to get the snowfall that I am longing for, but I can't help but be impatient.

I can only hope that Mother Nature will be on my side and give us the true winter weather that I have been dying to see.
