Alright, all y'all from up north or around the midwest zip it! You have had your fair share of the white stuff this season. However, since we live in the midwest (only for 3 years and specifically chosen for its winter climate) I am a bit bummed that the snow keeps missing our city! It drops glorious amounts of snow to our surrounding counterparts, but always seems to leave "icy conditions" in my neck of the woods.
When we knew the Marines were about to uproot us, we thought "Let's live somewhere that we would never live again, and it will help get my desire for cold out of my system." We have absolutely loved living here and I have been anticipating the snow like a little girl.
However, I have not enjoyed enough snow to go sledding...but here are some things I have learned about the winter:
~ Your car doors actually freeze shut! I hate ice on the road, on my windshield, and definitely when it ices my doors shut.
~ I don't mind cold if it is snowing. The fun and the misery balance out. However, recently, we had a bitter cold snap and I thought I was going to die. Negative temps are not something this Texas girl had in mind.
But today..the cold is welcomed (as long as the snow keeps falling).

YAY FOR SNOW! You really must have thought my post was super silly, then! LOL --
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog and I look forward to reading more of yours!
I would be more than happy to share our 7 inches of snow with you. And when I got home to the Midwest over xmas holiday, I had driven in blizzards from the Northwest to here- again, more than willing to share the falling flakes!
