Searching for Winter

Winter here in southern Michigan has not been all that we expected. It's not that we don't appreciate all the extra sunshine, it really is lovely. But, all this brown mush instead fluffy white?

 Oh we've had a few snowfalls, and we celebrate, thinking it's finally here!

And then, it all vanishes as quickly as it fell.

This calls for some drastic measures. I mean really, short sleeves and roller skating on January 31st!? I think we may just have to go out and hunt down winter this year.
