WINTER BLUES. “To combat the winter blues, I cuddle my dog and watch TV wrapped up in a warm blanket,” says junior, Payton Woodward. The winter blues have come up in full approach. These blues have brought cold weather, some sickness, and even some snow! The Valley Heights community and surrounding areas have had a few snow storms. The latest snow storm was January 14 & 15. This storm brought some rain, and eventually snow. There have also been a few chilly days this past week, with temperatures in the low 20s. Aubrey Umscheid, freshman, says “I spend a lot of my indoor time watching movies, hanging out with family, playing games, and drinking hot chocolate.”
In February, the 2022 Winter Olympics will start. The Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing, China, in which games will be played on snow and ice. Some events you can expect to see are figure skating, ski jumping, ice hockey, and snowboarding. The United States will have about 200 athletes for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The games start Friday, February 4 and end Sunday, February 20. The excitement of the Olympics could make your winter blues a little better. #MustangTough
