OMG, lows in the mid-40s!?!    Break out the mukluks.

I was in Austin about 12 years ago for Thanksgiving week.   We went to San Antonio one day to do the river walk.   We were dressed in sweatshirts or light jackets.   A couple of the shops said, "No one is out shopping or eating out today, it's just way too cold."


I was in Orlando WDW a couple of years ago in early December.   It was quite cold there, in the mid-30s.   Tried to find sweat shirts for the adults (all they had was just slightly heavier than a t-shirt) and mittens for the three year old grand kids -- there were exactly two pair left at Target and one pair for my wife and daughter to share.

Each year I dislike winter a bit more.

Friday I took off work a few hours early, got home, and watched the snow fall from the comfort of my living room for the rest of the day. I would miss watching the snow fall if I lived down south.

If I retire to Florida or some other part of the deep south, I think each year I would crank up my AC and pay someone to take a bag of feathers up on my roof and gently toss them off over my sliding glass doors so I could sit there and watch "the snow fall".

I could save some money by collecting a few dead birds from the roadway and having that person pluck the feathers from those birds up on my roof. When I saw a couple of plucked birds pass my windows and hit the ground I would know she was done.

Gene  I know what you mean I used to like when it snowed at night the sound of sleet pelting on the windows and the muffled sond of the plow speeding along my rural route outside and then the flashing orange light. as a kid it meant no school probably and when I was older I could go snowmobiling tomorrow. I always like envning rain storms too still do and we get good ones here in the summer. oh btw I had the AC on today:)

Snow is pretty when it first falls. Nothing else like it on the trees and wires. The problem with Snow is you have to move it. I had enough of that. Blow it in the morning b4 work, in the afternoon after work and during the day when I was home. And then by 10:00 AM the dirt in it takes all the beauty away.
  I don't miss it at all. It is terrible we have to live down here. I can't find a way to blow the sun. I miss my snow blower! Yea right !!

My back yard Sunday A.M. My fire pit is a dryer drum [look under the piece of grill sticking out]. Today we went above freezing for a bit---but it will be short lived.

I should be at my studio now, working. But is was 8 degrees last night. I think I'll wait to go into work until it warms up a bit - like maybe the first of May.
