Daylight Saving Time has arrived and we grow ever closer to that time of the year known as “Yecchh! Winter! Go away!”

I know that’s not an official time of year, but it works for me, and it does come before spring.

I don’t like winter. Haven’t liked winter in as long as I can remember.

I’m sure I must have liked winter at some point. I have memory snippets of me coming into the house soaked to the skin after cavorting in the snow. The memory snippets do not include information about whether I was having a good time or not.

One winter around 1970 or so, I was living in Upper Darby, Pa. and working at a radio station in West Chester, Pa., which was a commute of 25 miles each way. I woke up to a heavy snow storm one morning — I had to get up at 3 a.m. or thereabouts. I got in my car and drove toward 69th Street, thinking I’d park my car and take a bus to work. Parked the car and realized the public lot I was in used parking meters and I would quickly get a ticket and maybe even get towed while I was broadcasting the news 25 miles away.
