When I went into the Navy, I had to go through an orientation course at Bethesda Naval Hospital. There I met another new officer from San Jose, CA who was being assigned to Brunswick Maine. Since I was being sent to the San Francisco Bay Area from my home in New England, we talked frequently about what to expect in our new homes.
Around Christmas, we got a card from him telling us how much they enjoyed their first White Christmas. Around Easter, we got another card asking “When does the snow go away?”. Didn’t have the heart to tell him.
Anyway, be careful what you wish for.
