winter is almost over

Its Spring time...but I am not really happy coz it's spring time...I dont even know how Spring is coz this is my first Spring season in the US. The real reason for my happiness is that winter is almost over :-) . This was my first winter in the US. And I had a good taste of it. And in Illinois, the place of my university, the 'lake effect' adds salt to the wounds. Chilly winds originating from the Great Lakes and coming south make the hands numb in seconds. And the gloves don't help either after a certain extent. Standing for two minutes in the open is enough to foster a fierce hatred for winter. The roads become slippery. The heating bill was $100 a month on an average!! And the worst of all is 'static' current which you get when you touch a metal..I hate it. It really creeps you out. You are unaware and then as soon as you touch something metallic or even some other person sometimes...u get that small current..i've even seen a small spark sometimes when i touch the door knob....and it freaks me out. Well, all that is going to be over in two weeks...so it's time to rejoice...
