I am sitting here next to my bedroom window, watching as beautiful snow wafts down to the ground, in swirling patterns. Actually, it's not really wafting, it's coming down pretty hard. The ground looks like it is being sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, and the trees, especially the evergreen, look pretty with their dusting of snow. Actually, it's coming down harder now, the roads are getting covered. I look over at John.
"This is disgusting" John chortled. "I don't care if it is pretty or not. It's still a mess!" I asked him why he cared if it were a mess, as if he had somewhere to go this morning. He's not going to church today because his immune system isn't strong enough. If he wanted to, he could curl up under the blankets and read books all day. So I asked him what the problem was. "I don't like snow. It's sloppy, it's messy, it's slippery. It's a mess."
I think he better get an attitude adjustment real quick, LOL, or this is going to be a loonggggggg winter. Oh, did I say winter? Winter starts here in November and doesn't end sometimes until some time in April. That's one of the perks of living here.
I, unlike John, am actually starting to adjust to the cold and the winter weather. I didn't mind coming home last night in a little bit of snow, enough that John had to get out the snow brush/ice scraper and brush the car off before we could take off. As we drove home in the snow, with the Christmas lights lighting up the town, I felt the excitement of the new season. I'm starting to adjust to this colder season. I think I can make it through the next four or five months now...

We don't have snow here today at least not yet, but it is cold. Your attitude unlike mine is gratifying. I guess we have to give thanks, no matter what. The 'perks' as you call them last all the way til and sometimes through April here too! It seems we have do 6 months of perks and 6 months of rather nice weather.
ReplyDeleteI just stay in alot and enjoy the warmth inside. 'On Ya' - ma
It is very pretty when you dont have to drive in it. If only it would stay pretty and white.
ReplyDeletewinter november through april??? brrrrr!! we have cold days, but our real winter months are jan - mar, with very little snow! i wouldn't mind skipping winter completely. lol

I don't mind snow at all if I don't have anywhere to go. I think it's very pretty. I woke up and looked out the window and thought, "Wow, that's gorgous!" John, my John, called me with excitement on the phone and said, "Do you see the snow!" So we kind of like it. I like it when it only snows a little to be pretty or alot to strand us. The inbetween that causes problems is what is a bother, I guess. Pretty, pretty. Here comes Susie Snowflake... LOL Love, Val who is so used to PA winters and even using space heaters. LOL xox

I love to LOOK at the snow, but I can't get out in it or ice. I fall to easily.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Winter's here, by the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a nice day.
Seems as though we'll all make it through. Some of us just go kicking and screaming all the way!!! Not me ... I may not love the cold, but I sure do love the SNOW. So let it ... snow, snow, snow!
ReplyDelete((((((((((((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU))))))))))))))))))))Yuo,John better get used to the snow sooner or later.LOL.I love snow to.One year,I was stuck in my house for 3 days because of the snow and I couldnt get to work,even thoe I was about 5 munites away.LOL.HAve a nice day.
ReplyDeleteSnow might be okay up where people are used to it and know something of driving in it and a prepared highway dept. Down here it's just a mess and a harrowing experience on the highway. Snow or ice. - Barbara
ReplyDeleteI'd like to live in a climate that had four seasons. California just has one with variations from time to time. Have a good day.
ReplyDeletePhil
I know you don't live too far from me, but your area always gets snow earlier than mine. We are having rain right now. I am a little jealous, as I would love nothing more than sitting in front of the fireplace with my candles burning and a nice snowfall out my window....but, then again, I have to go to BJ's and I don't enjoy being OUT in the snow as much as I enjoy sitting inside and watching it!!! (lol)
ReplyDelete((hugs))
Jeanne
Not me! I hate the stuff. It's been raining, snowing and sleeting over here by Reading, PA. Enjoy your snow!
ReplyDeleteMissie
I am beyond insanely jealous. I used to love living in Illinois where we got snow every winter. We don't get much snow in Texas. ::sniff:: I gotta plan a vacation up north... ;-P
ReplyDelete~Amy
LOL, Krissy, I'm so glad you are adjusting to it. I think I'm like John and getting worse each year. It will be a Loooong winter for me. We just had a dusting here in my end of Pa. It is pretty, though, when it first falls. Have a good Sunday. Love ya, Chris
ReplyDeleteI hope John's mood improves or it will be a very long winter! LOL
ReplyDeleteTraci
Krissy send John down my way, we don't get but one snowfall a year if we are lucky in South Carolina. I love the snow being a PA and OH girl, I'm used to that and miss it, so I'll come and keep you company and John and my Jerr can do their thing in SC. LOL. Arlene (AJ)
ReplyDeletelol at john. It's messy and stuff. Men.
ReplyDeleteI want SNOW... send it my way okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to catch up. Sorry doing this one handed have a sick baby on my lap.
Take care, Chrissie
It is a mess, and it makes things difficult sometimes, but doggonnit, I want to see snow this year!
ReplyDeleteGreg
I love snow, especially around this time of the year. I'm a kid at heart around the holidays. Pickles is a pup when it comes to the snow. She's not happy until we have literally romped through every inch of our yard in whatever snow she can find. (We don't have a small yard either, along with 7 lots of woods- rolls eyes). Put the two of us together and there is fun to be had. Doc is usually receptive and gooey eyed the first few snow falls, then he complains about driving in it. Eh! Men don't get how lucky they are sometimes. (Hugs) Indigo
ReplyDeleteKrissy, Dave feels exactly like John, only probably more so! Snow = work. Clearing the drive, driving differently....of course right now he can't even drive. But he thinks there is nothing pretty about it, other than it's pretty awful! I am a Minnesota girl and so I see the beauty in it you see. But it does bother my Raynaud's syndrome and it also is less and less apealing the older we get I am afraid. But I know what you mean. I tell you what! Let's you and I meet up and make angels in the snow, Krissy, Want to? Wouldn't that be FUN??? I love you.
ReplyDeleteMerry
There should be snow on Christmas Eve. Light snow for Santa............
ReplyDeleteNot on the roads for driving. Thats it..........
love eileen
I will enjoy the snow more this winter now that I'm retired. In winters past it's caused me much anxiety (even tho my car is 4-wheel drive), as I had several big hills to conquer going to and coming home from work. Now I can stay home in my cozy house and watch it come down, knowing I don't have to drive in it if I don't want to. Linda in Washington
ReplyDeleteHi Krissy~We didn't get snow in this part of P-A; only gray rainy skys with temps in the 40's. YUCK! yah I need an attitude adjust ment too because other than real humidness this is my least fav weahter and we get a lot of it all winter. My Mom has always hated winter so I guess I am preconditioned...I do love snow and pray we get some. Deb ;-)

ReplyDeleteTell John not to be such an old grump!!!LOL It is a pain in butt to shovel, clean off car, sprinkle non-slip stuff on sidewalk, drive with all the nuts that don't know how to drive in snow. I love it. The snow in Utah is so beautiful with the Rockie Mtns as a background. I am going to join you and Merry and make snow angels. Use to do that alot as a kid. Tell John and Michael "Hi" and love and hugs to you all.
Love Myke
I just cleaned off my car from the snow. Tonight my sister's friends husband might be putting a new battery in my car....<fingers crossed>...I hope it works out and my car is running again...wish me luck....June:)
ReplyDeleteI love the snow.
ReplyDeleteWet flakes for like 30 seconds on Cape Cod.... that's it so far.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a very light dusting here in Chicago. It's usually gone before dawn. I hate winter and I'm not looking forward to the cold.
