Groundhog Day: The holiday that doesn’t really mean anything where groundhog Punxsutawney Phil determines whether or not we’ll be saved from the blistering cold. If he doesn’t see his shadow (pretty please!) on February 2, then we’re in the clear; if he does, then brace yourselves for another six weeks of winter. Kind of a weird tradition we got going on here, but this is how it goes. And it’s not that we don’t love the cute wintry accessories or the ability to snowboard & ski. There’s just so much more to look forward to in the warmer weather. Here’s just a handful of examples:
Outdoor Concerts
We’d never turn down a chance to see a live performance by Justin Bieber, Big Time Rush or really anyone just because it was held indoors. But it’s so much easier to see ‘em on stage in natch light. Plus, how relaxing is it to lay on the grass while listening to your fave’s sultry voice?!
SS12 Trends
Celebs can get away with wearing spring/summer 2012 trends like peplum and tribal prints because 1. a lot of events are held in LA where it’s hot, and 2. they’re famous and can do whatever they want. But for us average people, we need winter to end to pull these off.
Shirtless Dudes
Remember when we showed ya these sexy shirtless guys frolicking in water? Well, that’s way more likely to happen when it’s sunny out and everyone can head to the beach.
Sun-kissed Cheeks
No, we’re not suggesting that stars like Leighton Meester need a tan to look gorg. Think about it this way though: Don’t you feel more confident with a healthy glow?
Road Trips
With an open road not clogged by snow or slated with ice, you and your BFFs could head anywhere… with the top down! Ahh, relaxation.
So are you with us? Are you hoping that there’s not six more weeks of winter? Or do you actually prefer the cold? It’s okay, you can tell us. We promise won’t judge you (much)!
it is not cold this winter where i live so id want more winter but then i would have 2 wait longer to go to florida this spring….i live in md soooo…………..
no more winter! i want spring than summer!
thats only 5 not 6
Hey Jane,
We said we’d give you a handful of examples (Handful = 5, duh!) about why we can’t have six more weeks of winter. Maybe that’s where ya got confused?
