One has to understand that come March, when it is 40 degrees people will be wearing shorts and tee shirts. If the roads are clear then it is nice out (even if there is 4 feet of snow) I try to think positive. Generally Jan Feb and March are the hard core winter months here. Last year was way worse and not normal. Having said all this sometimes we have snow before Halloween!

I have no problem with snow, its the sometimes -40 or lower temperatures I have to deal with that I really dont like. Not only that, but it lasts a few months generally except for some odd reason this year has been mild .......... the cold temps have only so far been hitting us this week but man the winds we've been having up here are bitter cold so I hope it goes away soon!!!!

I like snow. I just don't so much want it delivered to me. I'd generally rather go to it. I don't think I could live where there's snow most of the winter -- much less where you have to dig out your car, shovel your walk, or FFS shovel out your house because there's snow higher than the front door -- and keep my remaining sanity. I don't know how y'all who live in such conditions do it. I'd go nuts. I'll take the fire ants and palmetto bugs any day if that's what the options are.
My brother and sister-in-law are in the process of moving to Laramie, WY for my brother's job, and I'm fairly certain they're nuts. A Georgian and a Floridian moving to Wyoming in January??? |

I'm guessing that this is not an audience that would appreciate my complaints about the fog having not lifted for three days and how the damp 40's temperatures mixed with the wet air creeps in through every window and crack and through gloves and coats and stuff.

Ahh... finally back to Arkansas weather! It was a toasty 58 degrees today! Now if we can just maintain our winter average highs until February is over, that would be great!

We still have some frozen "snow" from the week before Christmas. It has been too cold for it to melt. Def the "coldest" winter I can recall.
There are some flakes blowing around out there right now, but it is not expected to accumulate. I think this is the first day in a few weeks it has been "warm enough to snow" LOL... Blessed are the wood choppers!!!! |

Snow's due in tomorrow... this would not be a problem if we had had a normal January, but nooo... after the Arctic chill that almost did me in, we had two weeks of--I kid you not--SPRING. 50+ degrees, day after day! Non-freezing nights! The lilacs are budding!
And tomorrow the high temp will be twenty degrees lower than today, and it will snow. The low temps will drop into the teens again. Sheesh. The thing which made the snow so hard for me before was that I've never lived in a house in snow country--in the apartment complexes, there were long carpeted hallways between the outside world and my front door. Here at That House, it snows right up to my front door even though I have a full-size covered porch. I really don't understand that, lol... I'll grant you that my floors are not exactly beautiful right now, splotched with old carpet glue as they still are... but SHEESH, having melting snow tracked from the front door to the back really bothered me! It took me quite a while to figure out what to do. Now one of my best bathtowels has been sacrificed to the snowy-shoe gods so that we have a place to let shoes dry, and one of our bath sheets plus another towel have become a sort of carpet that extends a good five feet into the living room. Voila! No more salty slush melting into our hardwood floors! *hey, they aren't gonna get ruined on MY watch... so glad I figured out how to avoid it!* Bonus: doorway puppy accidents are contained, too. |

Love snow, hate ice. We don't get much of either but people down here don't know how to drive in either. I live out in the county and go to work early so I'm usually the one making the new path to town. But I must admit my butt draws up if I meet someone on the road, ya never know how they are going to be driving.

Snow. Loathe it. Especially when I'm shoveling it.

Aww, Christie, thank you but I don't think cardboard would absorb it all and then dry out again.... I couldn't believe that everyone who came over just blithely tracked the stuff in as if I don't give a damn about my floors... SHEESH.

They ran away from the doggoned thing, couldn't wait to get down in the yard "where they belong." *eyeroll* I suppose this is actually a good thing, right? I mean, who wants the stuff on their front porch, really? But it sure threw me for a loop, what with taking the puppy out 672 times a day at first! Edited to add---- I tried making that dry patch, shoveled the snow away, etc---they insisted on going into the unshoveled snow! |
