what about snow this year?

december 11th, mountains brown, no snow to be seen from our house. i looked on the website of bosco gurin and there is a little white to be seen. i long to see some rain and snow. big son asked me when there would finally come some heavenly water. if i say that i need rain, people here get very upset. why would someone want rain or snow?well, i suppose it is something which helps us to keep alive! after 2 hours all ticino people are fed up with down poor, and it is not as if they are always outside and in that moment they are confined to stay put. i love rain and snow because it relaxes my brain and it tells me it is okay to nothing for once in a while. me, big egoist, loves the snow for myself and family. a lot of ticino people do not think about the economic side of snow for this part of the country. we have some really nice little skiing areas and i hope they will be around for a long time. so to keep them going...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
