Every winter people talk about the inconveniences (不便) that snow brings and no one really takes time to fully enjoy it. On the night of the first snow this season I went outside and just stood in it, happily looking up at the dancing snow that greeted me with kisses as they landed on my face.
While people complain about snow, the old saying is completely right in this case: you never know what you have until it's gone. Do you remember the winter two years ago when it hardly snowed and wildfires and drought (干旱) ran across the state the next summers? People should love snow instead of hating it, since if it snows more we'll have more water. Now the drought in California, which has troubled the state since 2011, has been less terrible, because of increased levels of rain and snow throughout the state. Without enough snow, the soil for crops isn't ready for spring, and food prices rise. Without snow, it doesn't feel like the holidays.
I understand why people hate snow. It's cold, it freezes everything and it's hard to drive in. However, there is something beyond these inconveniences. Last winter, half the towns cars were stuck in the snow. The other half were helping. Everyone who wasn't stuck got a tool and stopped to help everyone in need. People at school whom I had never talked to helped me dig out my car. Because of the snow, everyone came together and was filled with holiday spirit.
Here in Utah we should be especially obliged for the snow. Utah is famous for its skiing sports and with the snow come tourists and outdoor fun for ourselves. Even if you can't afford expensive activities such as skiing or snowboarding, there are still snowmen to be built and ice houses to be set up.
Remember: we can't control the weather but we can control our attitudes.
