I LOVE Winter!


And now back to reality; I HATE winter. Actually, I don't mind it too bad and growing up in Kansas am quite used to the cold and snow. But up here in Ohio, it's a bit colder and we have more snow. And this winter? Just ridiculous.




It's so sad waking up every morning and glancing at the 10 day weather forecast only to see there's NO hope in sight. We're never going to hit 40 degrees up here and I'm beginning to think spring won't even happen this year.

(No, I don't still have Christmas decor up, these pics are from a few weeks ago)

Thank GOODNESS for 4-wheel drive and a city that's pretty good at plowing!

  1. oh man, laughing at your funny cats. Funny cats get me every time! I'm easily amused =) And, in FL so I can't at all relate. But, I did live in CO and I was always over the winter right around Jan/Feb. Hang in there! Just remember, it isn't at all pleasant to step outside at 8am to let the dogs outside and instantly start sweating.

  4. the cats are funny. heck I wish we had a tad of snow. not as much that is in those pics. but enough to cover the ground and make a few snow men. we rarely get snow in south west ga. and wen we do it's not enough to do anything with and its nasty due to being so close to the dirt.

  5. Ok, you're going to hate me, but I *wish* we had a snow day. I would love a reason to throw on some sweats, make some hot cocoa, and snuggle up in a warm blanket with my best little guy.
    Hope things warm up for you, soon!!

  6. Oh, sad. It has turned to spring weather here (which is REALLY uncommon for Utah), and I'm actually wishing it would snow a bit more since I know we'll need the moisture this summer when everything is super dry. Weather never seems to cooperate, does it?

  7. I'm with you. Bring on Spring! We are supposed to get 6-10 inches today/tonight. Hasn't happened since 2000! And, in the South, that shuts down everything!

  8. Agreed. I'm worried this is actually the start of the next ice age.

  11. We are expected to get 10-14" tonight, into tomorrow. I am SO over this winter. I still have xmas lights up outside because it's been too cold to go out and take them down!! At this rate, I might as well keep them up until Christmas this year!

  12. There is one day in the 40s and another in the 50s in the 10 day forecast!! I think I'm getting myself over excited about this as it's likely that a snow storm will happen instead.

  13. Those cat pictures are perfect!! And I can't believe how rough this winter has been on most of the country. Somehow Utah has escaped relatively unscathed for now but I'm sure we'll get our turn.

  18. It seems like the seasons have shifted later than normal. I remember last year we had snow, or really cold temps, here in May! I did see that we are supposed to get into the 50s this weekend, but yeah, it's been brutally cold and I'm so over it. Today 28 degrees felt balmy! :)

  19. I am so over winter. I am tired of COLD! The amount of snow probably wouldn't bother me if I could at least take Leland outside. But with windchills so low, we're stuck inside. Waaahhhhh!

  20. I am with you girlfriend, bring on spring!

  21. Four wheel drive has been a life saver this winter! Unfortunately, our crappy little town only plows the main roads :( They only do the neighborhoods 3 or 4 days after the first snow fall...if we are lucky!

  22. That much snow does not sound fun at all. We just got another snow/ice storm and it's fun for about a day, but then I'm over it. I'm glad it doesn't happen too often down here!

  23. I hate it too. Can't stand it. I live in MA and we've gotten pretty clobbered, but not quite like the Midwest. I grew up in Upstate New York where the average yearly snowfall is 115 inches. You'd think I'd be all right with it. Nope. Wish winter would die and never, ever come back!

  25. I hate winter too. Being from CA and living on the east coast the past four years, I always long for warmer days this time of year. :)
