Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...somewhere else

 

So in a few short weeks the following has happened:

1. I have purchased the biggest, least attractive, warmest coat I could find on short notice that allows me to layer more clothes than I have worn in years.

2. In my closet I now have three times the pairs of socks I've owned in decades.

3. It doesn't matter how good a hair day I'm having (and that's a big deal these days - more on that to come) I'm wearing the ear cover, the hat, and the hood on whatever vest and coat I'm wearing.

4. Weather.com has become my most frequented app on my phone.

5. I've learned not to believe what it says regarding the temperature. It doesn't matter what it is. It matters what the "Feels Like" is.

6. Nothing and I do mean nothing is worse than ice.

I hate mosquitos. I hate humidity. I'm not a fan of anything over 75 degrees. 

So we'll see which season wins the award for most challenging. 

Yes. Yes, indeed. Okay. Let's see.

In a few short weeks, the following has happened:

1. I have come to appreciate the sun in a whole new way.

2. 30 degrees feels pretty damn good.

3. The people who shovel snow are amazing. 

4. Shoveling ice makes you an actual hero.

5. An automatic car wash is like getting fresh flowers - delightful.

6. Most days I still am brave enough and happy to walk Chance, and it's one of my favorite things to do no matter the weather.
