Splat!You are it! I just got you with my snowball! Sadly not strong enough to get one to Texas and if it would be possible that ball would rain down instead of causing a fun snowy splat on the back of a winter coat.<BR/> Have been reading a bit all of you here and there. You all seem very nice. Enjoy the weather.

Isn't it boring living in a place that doesn't embrace each season fully? Granted, slipping and sliding and falling into a slush-filled pot hole or gutter isn't that thrilling - but don't you see beauty in snow even from a distance?<BR/><BR/>JGW: I'm not sure I'm ready to embrace a Minnesota winter as you have... I heard on the radio yesterday about a discussion of "global warming" in Minneapolis where one says to the other - "Oh, yippie! You mean our average winter temperature will change from -31 degrees to -29.5 degrees? And we should be panicking? We should be celebrating! Bring 'er on!" :)<BR/><BR/>ANON: I'm with you! I love each season and can't wait for the next one to come! Thanks for reading and commenting. Next time don't make yourself so anonymous.<BR/><BR/>OOSM: The evenness and uniformity is awesome. The stilling and calming affect is tremendous!

I'm most excited about the winter comes but in the end of it I'm ready for the Spring. <BR/>Loved (and still do. My spouse not so much) going ice fishing with my dad when I was a kid,skiing,walking,hiking, skating,ice-hockey,sledding etc.<BR/> I can't wait to get the snow pusher out when the snow storms come and push the snow out the drive way ( my own and couple of the neighbor's as well). Love playing together with my child and dog in the snow and teach all the fun things my parents thought me when I was at my child's age. I love the feeling coming indoors from the cold and starting to warm up. Enjoy the snow while it lasts!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181705.post-53467979381185740102007-12-10T09:27:00.000-07:002007-12-10T09:27:00.000-07:00if you can't beat it, join itOr move to a climate ...<I>if you can't beat it, join it</I><BR/><BR/>Or move to a climate that is more suitable for human habitation.

I dreaded the winter months, which forced you to slow down, bundling up every time you go outdoors, bundling down and tracking in mud and water every time you came in... Travel from one place to another always taking an extra 15-30 minutes... And then there was the darkness.<BR/><BR/>One winter, Göran and I went on a sled outing, and had such a great time, we later went snow-shoeing. We had an incredible time. Since then, we've made a point of doing lots of fun winter activities each year. I've started looking forward to the winter months and craving snow.<BR/><BR/>I even began to realize that shoveling snow, which I always regarded as an extra, painful, time-consuming chore, was actually an opportunity for outdoor exercise!<BR/><BR/>You know, if you can't beat it, join it.John Gustav-Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557940681381951271noreply@blogger.com
