Not that we need more reasons to be happy that summer is here, but I thought a few visual reminders would be a good thing. Here are three visual reasons to love summer.

 

Visual Reason #3

Trying to figure out where the actual parking spots are in the office parking lot. not a fun way to start the day. and if it's still snowing when you get there, you'll have to dig the car out twice in the same workday. Ugh.

 

Visual Reason #2

Expected snow totals from Monday's storm

The forecast map. The predicted totals for an upcoming storm laid out in a simple and informative way. It's a critical tool to prepare for the storm. I was sick of them by mid-December.

Snow plows. Snowy roads. Icy roads. But was anything worse than the visit from the polar vortex?
