Baby It's Cold Outside - what do you like about winter?

[Minnie]

well, I didn't list the things I don't like about winter - and there are several. I think your winter would be way too cold for me! I grew up in Bham - and that winter was wintery enough.

are there any winter time games or hobbies you enjoy?

I revised my list,

Oh my! I haven't had a white russian in forever.
I know you're trying to help us winter haters get out of our slump--God luv ya.

If you came and spent the week with me in my house, we would have a damn blast and you know it. fireplace and hangovers. and comfort food. and quick drives out to the Red Bar and the beach just to get out on the weekend. admit it.

okay - we're all kind of suffering in this severe cold. I admit I hate not being able to stand being outside for 2 minutes. today it was a little warm on my back porch and I worked out there packing away christmas. but that was only a brief period of warmth with the sun shining - early afternoon.

too cold for me right now.

Lynnie - I would adore the 2 day snow too. unfortunately (or fortunately) we don't get an hour snow here!

This was more than a Two Day Snow. Atlanta (6 in.) and Augusta (5-6 in.) were shut down for a solid week. I mention Augusta because it's a warmer temp. than Atlanta.

The Blizzard of '93! Funn, funn, funn - except for those who lost power!

I revised my list,

you absolutely did not have to do that - but your effort is appreciated. I don't mind if you are in a mood and hating winter. it is what it is. well - I would rather you not be chipping the tooth off and stuff, but that could happen any ole time. sometimes we do get in a foul wintry mood.

and you could never rain on anyone's parade.

reading books - its one of my favorite things about winter. I do this year round - but in winter I can really find time to snuggle with a good book (hey - we need to talk about books).

shopping. I love to shop in winter.

travel. love to get in the car and go for a long weekend somewhere close by. its refreshing to travel and go to restaurants and see sights without sweating through it all. and get back to the hotel or wherever and totally relax. something about winter just slows things down, even when traveling - not in a hurry to go do everything there is to do - leaving time to rest. a vacation can really be a vacation. (unless you are skiing - and I don't ski).

I also find I take the time to do other things (only in winter) such as menu planning, vacation planning and home projects.

(I'm still in denial about the things I don't like.. I bet I'll remember them in another few days of this weather! It is COLD outside - did anyone notice? that level of cold is painful for any length of time out there.).

Ok..I admit it. And I will be there Friday.

I like to smell the woodburning fireplaces when walking the dog in the evenings and really wanting that cup of hot chocolate, cider, or tea - anything warm!

Well.......snow if I am really blessed!
Frost on the ground that sparkles like stars in the night.
A chance to wear beautiful scarves that have been knitted for me.

Slight chance of SoWal snow Thursday.

I like the silence of winter but prefer a nighttime southern summer cacophony of crickets and frogs.

I enjoy winter days. Some are like a time warp where all one sees on the beach is sand and seagulls. (I want to tell johnrudy that I love the bridge avatar - cello?)

Winter is a great time for concerts and other cultural events.

Snowbirds have it figured out.
